Lil Yachty makes it look easy. An Atlanta-raised rapper with a sleepy flow and a bright, almost childlike outlook, Yachty (born Miles Parks McCollum in 1997) rose to prominence in 2016 with a pair of mixtapes (Lil Boat and Summer Songs 2) that recast the booming caverns of 2010s rap as something soft, sweet, intuitive, and a little goofyâa sound Yachty once called âbubblegum trap.â Dozens of features and guest appearances followed, including cosigns from Kanye, Chance the Rapper, Calvin Harris, and Macklemore. In 2017, he released his first full-length album, Teenage Emotions. His second, 2018âs Lil Boat 2, took a harder, darker turn but retained the clarity that made his early music stand out. Like Lil Uzi Vert (or Young Thug before him), Yachty represents a turn away from the conventional metrics of rap, favoring slogans over bars, hooks over metaphors, fluidity over stricture, and vibe above all. (He famouslyâor infamously, depending on your stance toward traditionâonce told Billboard that he couldnât name five songs by either 2Pac or Biggie.) But heâs also emblematic of a broader shift from understanding rap music as an end in itself to seeing it as an extension of the person who made it, a facet of a bigger image or experience. No wonder he FaceTimes with fans, or started his career primarily as a presence on Instagramâfor him, the project is social. Still, it wouldnât make a difference if the music itself werenât strikingâand if he werenât so casual about it too. Speaking to Beats 1âs Zane Lowe shortly before releasing Teenage Emotions, Yachtyâguileless and ever-intuitiveâsaid, âI didnât know [my sound] was different. I didnât know until it took off. Then I was like, âWell, I donât sound like nobody else.ââ He paused. âI donât even know if thatâs a good or a bad thing. But itâs a thing. Itâs a thing.â
Yachtyâs only expanded his sonic appetite. In 2021, he paid homage to Detroit-area rap with Michigan Boy Boat, an album that saw him adopt the jittery soundscapes and deadpan bars of the region. He added to his repertoire once again with 2023âs Letâs Start Here., a psychedelic rock album that sees Yachty stretch his vocals and soundscapes in even more unpredictable directions. From there, he released Concrete Boys, the debut project from his Concrete imprint. Featuring dexterous flows and spurts of melody from his crew, the 2024 effort affirmed his knack for curation and aesthetics. Heâs graduated to a well-tended status as an industry tastemaker and a spitter capable of trading bars with J. Cole. On the track âThe Secret Recipe,â we find Lil Boat rapping about being the source of plenty of rap and fashion trends. Itâs a fitting song title for a young veteran whoâs made a career out of good taste.
