Lyfe (stylized as Lyfë) is the sixth extended play by American rapper Yeat. It was released through Geffen Records, Field Trip and Twizzy Rich on September 9, 2022.[1] The album features a guest appearance from Lil Uzi Vert.
Background and promotion
On June 15, 2022, Yeat took to Twitter to announce the title of the EP.[2] On September 2, 2022, he released the lead single, "Talk", a collaboration with American producer Bnyx.[3] Upon releasing the EP's single "Talk", Yeat confirmed on Instagram that his forthcoming EP would release the following week on September 9, 2022.[4]
Commercial performance
Lyfe debuted at number ten on the US Billboard 200 with 30,000 sales in its first week, becoming Yeat's second top-ten project.[5] The EP also accumulated a total of 42.08 million on-demand streams of the EP's songs during the tracking week.[6]
Critical reception
In a positive review, Pitchfork praised Yeat's unique style and energy, and felt that it was one of his strongest efforts to date, writing: "Rage rap can be rote and exhausting, but in small doses—like on the Portland rapper's new pared-down and hypnotic album—the style can be ridiculous fun, electrifying, and hyperreal."[7]
