Lil Yachty Remixes Young Nudy & 21 Savage’s “EA” In New Snippet

by

Lil Yachty’s finally receiving his proper credit. A pioneering figure in the Soundcloud rap movement, he’s undoubtedly pushed the boundaries of hip-hop and influenced a generation of rappers who’ve followed him. However, in recent times, he’s also earned much more praise for his musical outings. 2022’s “Poland” became a viral hit that landed on many year-end song lists. But, it was his foray into psychedelic rock with Let’s Start Here that felt like a true testament to his range as an artist.

Some fans felt as though Let’s Start Here was Yachty’s attempt to abandon his rap beginnings. However, that clearly isn’t the case. He returned earlier this year with “Strike (Holster),” which bred some serious anticipation surrounding Yachty’s next project. Yachty leans into the vibrato delivery even further, just as he did on “Poland,” for a smooth, melodious banger. Still, it seems like “Strike (Holster)” is really just getting things in motion for a new era in Yachty’s career.

Lil Yachty Previews New Music

This week, Lil Yachty joined Kai Cenat on his recent livestream. Though the two delved into plenty of topics, including Cenat’s custom AF1s gifted by Twitch, the Atlanta rapper also previewed some new music. The rapper actually debuted a remix of Young Nudy and 21 Savage’s “EA,” which includes drill drums rather than Pi’erre Bourne’s signature trap percussion. It’s unclear where it’ll land but hopefully, it sees a release date in the near future.

Besides the recent remix, Lil Yachty’s been riding high in the last few months. He recently served as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live where he performed “The Black Seminole” and “Drive Me Crazy!” Prior to that, he revealed that he wanted to lock in for a joint album with Tyler, The Creator, who he said inspired him to explore the psychedelic rock sounds on his latest album Let’s Start Here. Overall, it looks like we’ll be getting a lot more music from Lil Yachty this year. Perhaps, he’ll announce an album sometime in the near future.

Lil Yachty Calls Drake’s Tupac-Playing Toilets “So Annoying” In Kai Cenat Stream

by

They say money can’t buy happiness. That doesn’t seem to be the truth for Drake, who’s certainly managed to fit the absolute best of everything into his mansion – including singing toilets. The father of one didn’t flex the unique feature himself. Instead, his good pal, Lil Yachty dished about it during his recent appearance on Kai Cenat’s internet show. The latter duo discussed a multitude of interesting topics, from DDG’s diss track to using the bathroom at Drizzy’s. This is something that the Georgia-born lyricist describes as “so annoying” now that he’s done it enough times.

“Every bathroom in his house has heated seats,” Yachty shared during the stream. Aside from that luxury, the toilets also play one of Tupac’s most famous diss tracks while in use. “And every bathroom in his house, when you walk up to the toilet, it opens and starts playing 2Pac’s ‘Hit ‘Em Up,’” Lil Boat alleged. “I swear to God! Every time it’s like, ‘Yeah, you fat muthaf*cka!’ It’s so annoying when you gotta take a shit ’cause it keeps looping.”

Lil Yachty Spills Secrets About Drake’s Home

He’s had the pleasure of relieving himself at Drake’s house “several” times. However, Yachty noted that he’s yet to use every bathroom on the Canadian’s property. At this time, there are minimum “eight or nine” thrones he hasn’t christened, but that will surely change as his long-standing bromance with his “Oprah’s Bank Account” collaborator continues. While certainly laughable, the 36-year-old’s Tupac tribute isn’t exactly surprising. He’s previously expressed love for the late rhymer on various occasions.

Specifically, he spent an astounding $600K on two chains in 2020, both of them depicting the West Coast legend – one with gold and red accents, the other silver and blue. Aside from that ‘Pac was also Drake’s most-listened-to artist of 2022 in his annual Spotify wrapped. He spent 246 minutes of the year streaming the multi-talent’s discography, which placed him in the top seven percent of fans. Tune into Kai Cenat’s full live stream with Lil Yachty below, and share your thoughts on Champagne Papi’s unique bathroom setup in the comments.

Lil Yachty’s Latest Single, “Strike (Holster)” Has Arrived: Stream

by

2023 has been a fantastic year for music so far already, especially in the realm of hip-hop and R&B. Just one of the many artists contributing to that is Lil Yachty, who ended January with the arrival of his featureless Let’s Start Here. album. The 14-track record finds the SoundCloud star feeling more experimental than ever before, a trend he continues on his latest offering, “Strike (Holster).”

The single arrived in time for New Music Friday (April 7), and was teased by Yachty on social media earlier this week. Unsurprisingly, his good friend Drake even gave him a co-sign while promoting his own contribution for this weekend, “Search & Rescue.” An accompanying visual has yet to drop, though HypeBae notes that Lyrical Lemonade’s Cole Bennett was the first to tease Lil Boat’s with a music video preview.

Lil Yachty Returns with “Strike (Holster)”

While Let’s Start Here saw Yachty exploring the sounds of psychedelic, ’70s rock, “Strike (Holster)” seemingly takes the rapper back to his roots. The single comes via Quality Control and Motown Records and finds the 25-year-old lyricizing over production by Teddy Walton and Aaron Bow. “You know that shit look real when you already do / You know the guys sip on drank ’til it’s early, yeah,” his first verse begins. “All this Bottega shit I shop at, Berlin just did / Drank man had cracked the seal, I begged him to sell it too,” Boat later adds.

It remains unclear in the latest release is a prelude to an upcoming project, or simply the Georgia native proving to his long-time fans that he still has the rap skills they previously revered him for. Stream Lil Yachty’s “Strike (Holster)” on YouTube above, or add it to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. Afterward, make sure to tell us your thoughts on the new single in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics:

Stars on or off, this shit ain’t nothin’, I switch the coupe
Emo bitch, she likе to go taste shrooms, look like Betty Boop
She ain’t me, coppin’ SRTs and do FruityLoops
He can’t play big bank, I switch out whips like they switch out shoes

Drake Releases His New Single “Search & Rescue”

by

Drake hinted at a new project when he performed at the Apollo Theater and it looks like he wasn’t joking. The Her Loss rapper debuted his new single, known as “Rescue Me” on OVO Sound Radio last Friday. Following a joint project with 21 Savage and a foray into house music, the record felt like a return to form for Drake, even down to the petty addition of a Kim Kardashian sample. Overall, fans hoped that the record would finally drop on DSPs, and this morning, he delivered.

The Certified Lover Boy is back in his bag on his new single, “Search & Rescue.” SadPony and BNXY (with additional help from Lil Yachty, 40, Wesley Curtis, and BEAUTIFULMVN) form the moody production while Drizzy’s kicking emotive melodies which are riddled with a touch of auto-tune. The song stays to its original form with the Kim Kardashian sample, as well, while Drake reflects on his search for true love and settling with one woman. 

Drake Comes Back Strong

With the release of “Search & Rescue,” we hope that this means Drake’s revving up to drop off some new heat before the summer. Sure, he just blessed us with Her Loss only a few months ago but he already began teasing Scary Hours 3. Though there hasn’t been any clear indication if it’ll drop later this year, it’s hard to think that Drake was simply being generous when he shared his new single. 

The song also comes on the heels of Drake’s performance at Dreamville Festival. Drizzy and J. Cole co-headlined Sunday night with a star-studded spectacle. While Cole brought fans through a journey of his catalog, Drake pulled out some show-stopping guest appearances. Lil Uzi Vert, GloRilla, Lil Wayne and 21 Savage came through to perform a few songs. Later this year, Drake and 21 will embark on the It’s All A Blur tour in support of Her Loss. Check out “Search & Rescue” above.

Quotable Lyrics
I don’t really know how to confess my love
Really seein’ that God wanna test my love for you
Don’t know how to express my love
That’s why I American Express my love for you

Lil Yachty’s New Single ‘Strike (Holster)’ Radiates A Truly Stellar And Psychedelic Vibe

by

Just months after dropping his critically-acclaimed album, Let’s Start Here, Lil Yachty is back with some new music. Tonight (April 7), the rapper has shared a smooth new single called “Strike (Holster)”

On this new song, Yachty continues playing with the psychedelic sounds he utilized on Let’s Start Here, this time, over a silky, trippy beat, reminiscent to Tame Impala and Blood Orange.

“I was tryna strike sh*t, I was tryna strike sh*t / I was tryna strike sh*t, like a match, late night, yeah / Strike like I missed it, strike like I hit the pin / Strike like I’m not goin’ to work, strike, strike,” he rap-sings on the song’s chorus.

While we’re not sure if Yachty’s latest cut is an outtake from Let’s Start Here, or the beginning of a new era, we can expect him to put out more music with confidence in the future. In a recent interview with Billboard, he revealed that he feels better about his music now more than ever.

“I was always kind of nervous to put out music, but now I’m on some other sh*t,” Yachty said. “It was a lot of self-assessing and being very real about not being happy with where I was musically, knowing I’m better than where I am. Because the sh*t I was making did not add up to the sh*t I listened to.
