The #1 Billboard Album Chart Topping and Multi-Platinum selling artist, Yeat just made his Coachella debut on Friday night, performing on the SAHARA Stage. His setlist included an unreleased song called “The Bell” and fan favorites like “Money So Big” and “Out The Way” as well as a new single “Work” with Anyma who he brought out as a special guest, and even a cover of Drake‘s “Feel No Ways”. Yeat’s Coachella set was one of the most talked about performances leading into the weekend with celebrities like Justin Beiber reposting his IG Story where in yeat teased new music along with a sneak peek at his stage design while speeding through the desert in a SLR Mclaren. The clip also included footage of Yeat onsite at the festival helping the stage crews build out his backdrop which featured a 50 foot Bell. This all comes after his performance at The Las Vegas Sphere with Anyma last month—the first rapper to ever perform there.
Low-fi melodies, clever cutting lyrics, and a distinctly mysterious persona are all highlights that build up the enigma that is Yeat, one of the most interesting rises in music. The prolific rapper broke through in 2021 when his song “Gët Busy” began appearing in TikTok videos. The track became so ubiquitous that it caught the attention of heavyweight rappers, including Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Gunna, and many more. As his fame skyrocketed, so did the mania surrounding the artist’s cult-like following which led to the shutdown of a show in Los Angeles at The Roxy. Now, with two headlining tours under his belt, three Billboard Top 10 Album Debuts, and over 8 billion global streams, the young talent is well on his way to superstardom. Yeat was born Noah Smith in 2000. He began releasing music around 2015, taking notes from Young Thug’s melodic strangeness and the inventive production styles of rappers who were rising to prominence as he grew up.
