Yeat

Yeat was born in Irvine and grew up in nearby Fullerton, and he spent only his high school years in Oregon, as he told Complex. He broke through in 2021 with Sorry Bout That and Gët Busy, then landed his first Hot 100 top-ten as the guest on Drake's IDGAF in 2023. LYFESTYLE debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2024, one of his seven top-ten albums, and in 2026 he and Drake reunited on MISS MY DAWG.

He told Complex he started putting songs on SoundCloud at 16 as Lil Yeat. The run that made his name came in 2021: "Sorry Bout That" took off on TikTok, and "Gët Busy," with its ringing bells, did the same ahead of the album Up 2 Më that September. Bells have stayed a signature in his songs. He later signed a joint-venture deal with Zack Bia's Field Trip Recordings and Geffen Records, and he runs his own Lyfestyle imprint.

From there the albums kept climbing the Billboard 200: Lyfë at No. 10 and 2 Alivë at No. 6 in 2022, AftërLyfe at No. 4 in 2023, and 2093 at No. 2 in February 2024. LYFESTYLE became his first No. 1 that October with 89,000 units. The Dangerous Summer EP followed in 2025, and in 2026 the double album ADL, with guests including Elton John, Grimes, Don Toliver and Joji, opened at No. 5 for his seventh top-ten album.

He has played Coachella and Lyrical Lemonade's Summer Smash, and he toured North America in 2026 behind ADL, selling out Central Park SummerStage in New York and the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. His label put his global streams past 8 billion in September 2026, and Juice Unlocked ranks him No. 1 on its list of the top OC rappers.
