Despite if aliens captured him at one point during his childhood, or if he’s one himself, Yeat is living in the future — bringing us to 2093 on his latest album.
The AftërLyfe star has evolved drastically (and successfully) over the past few years, shifting himself from the underground’s reclusive leader to a bona fide mainstream comet. 2093 completes this metamorphosis in a way that’s authentic, rebranding his once “geeked” bell-laced sound to a Cyperpunk-esque score akin to a dystopian thriller.

At 22 tracks long, highlights like “Breathe,” “Psycho CEO,” “Stand On It” with Future and “Lyfestylë”with Lil Wayne not only reassert the Portland rapper’s rapid rise to the top, but solidification as one of this generation’s icons. The care Yeat took into creating a world surrounding 2093 — coinciding a rollout filled with viral moments — is just as awe-inspiring as his performances on the record, always keeping its futuristic concept at the forefront. Recruiting producers such as Bugz Ronin, BNYX and more, 2093 is Yeat’s most experimental, yet polished, record to date; It might take a minute before most listeners catch on.
Initial projections pointed to 2093 achieving a Top 3 debut on the Billboard 200. It ended up debuting at No. 2 and selling 70,000 first-week units — competing with Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s VULTURES in its second week. Yeat’s teased his fourth studio album since the end of 2023, as it was rumored that Drake (whom he linked up with on the No. 2 charting “IDGAF”) and Childish Gambino would be a part of the record.

Phases 2 and 3 brought a handful of new tracks forth on these succinctly-dropped editions. Sharing “Never quit” and a new collaboration with Drake titled “As We Speak” alongside the video for “Riot & Set it off” (part of Phase 2), Phase 3 included four new tracks — bringing 2093’s total track count to 28. However, these P3 cuts are not on the official album, and are used as a contrast to hackers leaking the songs online. In Yeat’s defense, might as well play the same game and charge for the songs fans are already pooling a group buy for. Right?
“As We Speak” is outside of Drake’s usual pocket, sonically, but between Yeat’s digitally-distorted verses, Drizzy finds his flow: “Shout to Big Boat, I’m so concrete,” he raps. Gambino appears for a short outro on the end of “Power Trip,” singing “All we have’s the future / And this new life now” as the track drones off into the abyss.
Spotted at Paris Fashion Week with Zack Bia, projections reading “2093 is coming” reignited the rollout for the highly-anticipated album. These projections were spread throughout major cities all over the world, including Paris, New York, London and Los Angeles.
2093 (also known as LyfëStyle) was first introduced by an array of AI-generated visuals. Spearheaded by LyfeStyle Corporation, these “ReLyfe” ads not only evoke an unsettling aura, but foreshadows what Yeat’s dystopian world will look and sound like.

“bigger than everything,” which was paired with a Lyrical Lemonade video directed by Cole Bennett, was the first inkling of a new Yeat era last August. The dystopian Wild West-inspired visual bolstered the rapper’s innovative, otherwordly soundscape — seemingly underscored by an alien encounter as a child.
“That was deadass. It was real. I won’t go into too much detail because I’m not sure if they want me to talk about this right now. The aliens, I mean.” he told 032c in November. “I will say one thing though — they are really tall — and looked almost human. I remember everything on the night that it transpired, second for second. I can tell the difference between a dream and reality, and I know I was awake. That’s also my first memory. Everything before that feels fake. Sometimes I think I might not even be from here, because I have dreams about other planets.”
2093 ultimately takes listeners to that very place.
