He began rapping in 2017 as Lil Yeat, and, after a slew of singles, released his first EP, Deep Blue Strips, in late 2018. In 2019, Yeat would gain further publicity after “Stay Up,” the lead single off his second project and first mixtape, Wake Up Call, received a music video on the popular YouTube channel ELEVATOR.
Smith released Different Creature, a collaborative EP with Dutch producer Clibbo, on July 18, 2019, to positive feedback. Yeat garnered further attention after dropping his second mixtape, I’m So Me, at the conclusion of the year, collaborating with popular producers like Wheezy, Brandon Finessin, and 10Fifty, among others. Yeat continued to gain traction throughout 2020, releasing two EPs meant to hold fans over until Different Creature 2. The project was scrapped as he worked through label issues before becoming independent in 2021.
Fully in control of his output, Yeat began releasing a barrage of music, including twenty-track albums and countless singles. Yeat saw a major jump in support after his song “Sorry Bout That” blew up on TikTok. Subsequent hits like “Money Twerk” and “Get Busy” as well as a shout-out from Drake helped reinforce his newfound success. On August 5, 2021, Yeat released his newest EP, Trëndi.
In late 2021, Yeat would release his most popular album Up 2 Më and then would later drop 2 Älive and its deluxe, 2 Alivë (Geëk Pack)
On September 9th, 2022, Yeat dropped his highly anticipated EP, Lyfë, which had a feature from Lil Uzi Vert and collaborations with producers such as BNYX and collective Working On Dying.
On February 19th, 2023, Yeat posted a tracklist for Lyfë's deluxe version AftërLyfe on his Instagram story. On February 24th, 2023, AftërLyfe was released with a feature from YoungBoy Never Broke Again and more collaborations with BNYX, Working On Dying, dulio and more prominent producers.

In Kanye West's song "Kant changë," the lyrics explore themes of mistrust, self-reliance, and the struggles of fame and success. The repetition of the line "I can't change what I said, what I did" suggests a sense of regret or frustration with past actions, indicating that the singer may be haunted by their mistakes. The reference to running circles around the "bitch" implies a constant cycle or repetition in their life, unable to break free from certain patterns or circumstances.
The mention of receiving calls from "opps" (opponents) on their phone, similar to one of their romantic partners, suggests that the negative forces in their life are constantly trying to undermine them. The line "One eye open when I sleep alone, can't trust nobody" reflects a deep-seated paranoia and a lack of trust in others, likely due to past experiences or betrayals.
The lyrics also touch on themes related to wealth and indulgence. The mention of buying a hotel to keep their whereabouts hidden indicates a desire for privacy and protection, possibly due to their fame and success. The line "I don't lose, bitch, I always win, I can't take defeat" reinforces a strong sense of self-confidence and determination to overcome any obstacles they encounter. Additionally, the references to drugs and being "deep up in that bitch" suggest a hedonistic lifestyle and perhaps an escape from the pressures or realities of their fame.
Overall, "Kant changë" delves into the complex emotions and mindset of someone navigating the challenges of fame, success, and mistrust, striving to maintain their sense of self and overcome past mistakes.
