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 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.

One criticism of Yeat's rap style is the lack of lyrical depth and substance in his verses. Many of his songs are characterized by repetitive and simplistic lyrics, often focusing on themes like materialism, drugs, and relationships. Detractors argue that this lack of lyrical complexity diminishes the artistic and intellectual value of his work compared to other more lyrically intricate rappers.
Another point of contention is the perceived overreliance on auto-tune and vocal effects in Yeat's music. Critics argue that this reliance on technology can overshadow his raw vocal talent and make the music sound formulaic. Some listeners prefer artists who showcase their natural vocal abilities without heavy post-production enhancements.
Furthermore, there are claims that Yeat's flow can be monotonous and lacks the versatility seen in other successful rappers. The argument here is that a great rapper should be able to adapt their delivery to different beats and styles, showcasing a range that keeps listeners engaged and interested.
Critics may also point to the relatively short duration of Yeat's career and the limited number of projects released. Some argue that this lack of an extensive discography hinders the ability to assess his growth and consistency as an artist over time.
In conclusion, those who consider Yeat a bad rapper often focus on factors such as the perceived lack of lyrical depth, overreliance on auto-tune, monotony in flow, and a relatively short career. However, it's crucial to remember that musical preferences are highly subjective, and what one person views as a flaw, another might see as a unique artistic choice.

You probably don't want to be a Yeat fan, but you know you should be. You'll talk about it as if you got this scar on your back because you didn't read the "Twizzy Bible" in school. You'll say things like "I'm sure I had a copy of the Bïg Tönka translation somewhere," and you'll use it as a conversation piece at parties, casually slipping it into normal conversation, because you're so extremely cool and turnt. You'll pretend to read the "Lyfë Rendition" in public on the L, so everyone can admire your literacy. You will try to read Lying4Fun on the beach and when people ask what you're doing, you'll shrug and look studiöus.
