Lil Yachty isn’t slowing down. Tonight (September 28), the multifaceted rapper and singer, who dropped his psychedelic rock-influenced album Let’s Start Here back in January, has shared a new single, “The Secret Recipe.”
On “The Secret Recipe,” Yachty reminds us of his rap prowess, which is what brought him to instant fame in the mid-2010s.
Over a jazzy, instrument-driven beat, Yachty treats us to clever wordplay, channeling a newfound confidence as he freestyles effortlessly.
“I don’t smoke weed, already blunt, all of my cars, I had to hunt / My doggy young as hell but still will step, we call him runt / Like window shoppers, I see through every front,” raps Yachty.
J. Cole then hops in, delivering a verse equally as structured, reaffirming his GOAT status. He also notable calls out industry folk using social activism for clout.
“I started saying less / I had to stop it / Peeped how they profit off of racial stress / Some activists got so rich, they probably wished we stayed oppressed.
In the song’s accompanying video, the two rappers are seen in an empty arena, rapping their asses off, while making it look so damn easy.
You can see the video for “The Secret Recipe” above.
This fall, Lil Yachty is bringing his fans along on one hell of a field trip. His Field Trip Tour kicked off last night in Washington, DC, giving us a look at what to expect for the coming 38 dates.

“Tesla” rapper Lil Yachty’s The Field Trip Tour is nearly here. Beginning on Thursday, September 21, he will embark on a 39-date excursion across the globe. With two massive legs, including a North American and European run, fans are curious about who is opening for the tour? Well, when The Field Trip Tour was initially announced in May, that was a mystery.
But, thanks to the updated promotional graphic shared on Lil Yachty’s official Instagram page, we now know that Nick Hakim, Jean Dawson, and Nala Sinephro will do the honors. Learn more about the supporting acts below.
The North American wing of The Field Trip Tour will solely feature “Happen” musician Nick Hakim as the opening act. Born to a Chilean mother and Peruvian father, Hakim uses his rich cultural references and the robust sounds of his hometown, Washington, DC, to operate outside the genre bounds. Since his move to Brooklyn, New York, Hakim has become a frontrunner in the region’s push for sonic fluidity. Last year, Hakim released his latest album, COMETA, a product of that creative exploration.
Recording artist Jean Dawson will pick up the supporting act mantle when The Field Trip Tour makes its way to Europe in November. Following in alignment with Lil Yachty’s journey into the musical fringes, Dawson joining him on the road makes sense. The musician’s past projects — Chaos Now*, Pixel Bath, Bath Sports — and his forthcoming collaboration with singer SZA are blends of his sonic interests. Dawson’s artistry is a journey similar to his move from his hometown of Tijuana, Mexico, Dawson to San Diego, California. As a biracial (Black and Mexican) act, Dawson aims to pay homage to each culture.
Although Nala Sinephro will only join The Field Trip Tour for its stop in London, England, where she is currently based, her music is worth a listen. Most of the featured acts on the tour emphasize alternative elements in their work, but for Sinephro, it’s all about jazz. The Caribbean-Belgian multi-instrumentalist pushes the bounds of the genre. On her debut album, Space 1.8, which was shared in 2021, she fully displayed her technical abilities with the pedal harp, modular synthesizer, keyboards, and piano.

Lil Yachty recently shared some new selfies on social media to show off his new hairstyle, after cutting off his braids. He poses around backstage and sits on a couch.
“She like my haircut, it turn her on!!!” He captioned the series of pics, seemingly pretty excited about them.
“I chopped da top, f*kk it,” Lil Yachty also wrote in the Instagram post.

However, he couldn’t have anticipated the reactions. Some people were pointing out that he looked better, while others had jokes and harsher comments.
“What’s under the hat boat,” one user asked. Lil Yachty took it well, responding with a hiding laughter emoji.
Others had trouble even recognizing him. “WAIT I JUST REALIZED THIS IS F*CKING LIL BOAT???” another person quoted.
About twenty minutes later, the rapper tweeted that some of the comments were upsetting him. “I did not stop drinkin lean for n****s to bully me and tell me I look like I have leukemia,” he posted.
i did not stop drinkin lean for niggas to bully me and tell me i look like i have leukemia

Despite people trying to bully him, Lil Yachty did start posting a few of the memes to his Instagram story. One is a photo of a barbershop haircut menu with images of the male models, as someone notes that he got the “No. 15” and went bald.

What more needs to be said about Lil Yachty this year? The man has been on a creative escapade throughout the duration of 2023. We still have three and a half months to go before the new year, which means plenty of time for Lil Boat to wow us. Well, he is continuing to bring the heat in many different forms. Unfortunately, this latest offering is only available on SoundCloud which may bring some disappointment to his fans. However, they might want to still check “Rain” out because it is a fantastic track.
Here he teams up with elusive underground rapper Despot and producer sadpony. The vibe of the track is very idiosyncratic with the production being very minimal. With a flare of alternative pop and hip-hop thrown in as well, it is a truly fascinating combination of sounds and artists. Despot may not be an extremely household name, but he is a veteran in the New York underground and has been for quite some time. He rarely drops any music and is signed under Run The Jewels member, El-P, and his label, Definitive Jux. Right away you might be thinking how do all three of these artists do together? It is simply magic.

Yachty and Despost are both rapping passionately over sadpony’s odd instrumental. It throws in shots of background vocals, water dripping, and a xylophone. It is a colorful production from sadpony who worked extensively on Let’s Start Here. The messages from both rappers are very inspirational adding to a grand but distinctive beat.
What are your initial thoughts on this brand new Soundcloud exclusive track, “Rain,” from Lil Yachty, Despot, and sadpony? Is this one of Yachty’s best performances of the year? Has he been the most talented rap artist of 2023? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Quotable Lyrics:
Oh my god please don’t wait until I’m dead to realize I’m great
I was first to break the bank from my last name
I got rich and bought a crib to build a window pane
Big enough and bright enough to outshine my pain

Quality Control CEO Pierre “P” Thomas sure knows how to throw an unforgettable party, especially when it comes to celebrating his loved ones. Over the weekend, he pulled out all the stops once again to celebrate his daughter Journey’s 16th birthday. And the night looked nothing short of spectacular.
The star-studded bash was a sight to behold. Held in an Atlanta venue with lavish pink and carnival-themed decorations, it was clear that no expense was spared in creating a truly magical atmosphere. But the icing on the cake was the surprise Pierre Thomas had in store for his daughter Journey. As the night came to an end, guests witnessed a heartfelt moment when not one, not two, but three luxury Mercedes Benz cars were unveiled outside the venue. A massive pink sign posed the question, “Which one is your choice?”

Pierre Thomas shared the moment on his social media. It’s clear to see the sheer joy and tears of happiness as Journey made the difficult choice in deciding which car to pick. Additionally, Journey was treated to a special performance by none other than Quality Control signees. Lil Baby and Lil Yachty graced the stage with their music and the crowd definitely looked lit. The two performed their popular hit records. This extravagant birthday celebration is not the first of its kind for P. He has a reputation for hosting legendary birthday bashes, such as his annual “Black Ball” in Atlanta. This black-tie affair has become synonymous with elegance and celebrity attendance.
With a guest list that often includes top-tier stars like Quavo, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, and many more, it’s no wonder that P’s birthday parties are the talk of the town every year. Pierre Thomas has a history of giving lavish gifts, too. In 2019, he made headlines by surprising City Girls rapper JT with a brand new car for her birthday. His generosity knows no bounds. Consequently, it’s clear that he enjoys making those he cares about feel truly special on their big days. Journey’s 16th birthday party appeared to host a magical affair brimming with star-studded moments and heartwarming surprises. Pierre Thomas once again demonstrated his ability for making celebrations truly extraordinary, leaving a lasting impression on everyone lucky enough to be a part of this special occasion.
