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.

In Yeat's song "Bak on ëm," the lyrics depict a sense of confidence and success. The opening lines set the tone as the artist describes himself in a "big boy Tonka," which symbolizes his powerful presence and dominance. He further reinforces his status by stating that he possesses "big boy racks" and "big boy diamonds," indicating his wealth and extravagance. Yeat boasts about his ascent to the top, being in a "rich boy climate," suggesting that he has achieved success and financial prosperity. The recurring theme of being back on Percs (short for Percocet, a prescription pain medication) represents his indulgence in a certain lifestyle, albeit acknowledging the potential harm it may cause.
The lyrics also touch on material possessions, with Yeat proudly referencing his brand new chains and car. He emphasizes his circle of friends, asserting that they do not associate with "lames," implying that they only surround themselves with other successful individuals. Yeat signifies his indifference towards others' possessions and experiences, proclaiming that it does not matter what they have or had in the past. The mention of the Cayenne (referring to a Porsche Cayenne) reflects his recklessness and disregard for potential consequences, as he nonchalantly states that he cannot see while driving it and is unfazed by the possibility of crashing.
