Meanwhile, Lil Yachty has been busy collaborating with a swathe of artists. He recently released his track with rockstar Yungblud called ‘When We Die (Can We Still Get High?)‘, along with a song with childhood friend Faye Webster called ‘Lego Ring‘.
He also took a surprising pivot to psych-rock in his album ‘Let’s Start Here‘ last year. He said of the album: “There’s a lot of kids who haven’t heard any of my references. They don’t know anything about Bon Iver or Pink Floyd or Black Sabbath or James Brown. I wanted to show people a different side of me — and that I can do anything, most importantly.”
In other news, Yachty has spoken out about the current state of affairs in hip hop, saying the genre is “in a terrible place right now”.
