He is known for his experimental sound, unique choice of words, and unconventional fashion sense featuring a mix of designer brands and balaclavas.[4][5]

Yeat rose to prominence in mid-2021 following the release of his mixtape 4L and debut studio album Up 2 Me, with the tracks "Money So Big" and "Get Busy" from the latter gaining considerable popularity on TikTok. In 2022, he released his second studio album, 2 Alive, and the EP Lyfe, with both projects debuting in the top ten on the Billboard 200. In 2023, he released his third studio album, Afterlyfe, which debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, and was featured on Drake's song "IDGAF"; the track debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number one on the Global 200. In 2024, Yeat released his fourth and fifth studio albums, 2093 and Lyfestyle, both projects debuting in the top 2 and top 1 of the Billboard 200, Lyfestyle marking his first number one debut.[6]
