After a lot of TikTok hype and Yeat teasing snippets, he finally released 2 Alive on February 18.

Within days the album was number one in the world on Apple Music and Spotify; this is notable since Yeat hasn’t received   mainstream attention like this before.  

I like this new album because it is different compared to the other albums he has put out. When I first listened to it, I was disappointed because it wasn’t the same or what I had been used to. 

Yeat’s older albums featured heavy use of a synthesizer, fast paced, and flowing a lot harder–with choppy lyrics. His first album was produced almost entirely by himself.

The more I listened, the more I liked his new style which was more chill, and the ad-lib voices were more melodic. It was also a higher quality album with much better production.

Some of the songs made it more diverse in the way they weren’t as upbeat while still being unique and fast paced. 

In some songs I feel like Yeat didn’t use the full extent of his rap ability on a couple of the tracks where it would have made the song a lot better. 

The beats on 2 Alive are all unique and different in some way, which I enjoyed because sometimes a rapper’s style gets repetitive. Yeat also used a lot of weird ad libs like yelling and growling in previous albums compared to the melodic ones in . 

I think 2 Alive is the start of a new generation of rap, not because it’s majorly different but because of the way Yeat advertises and the carelessness in his style. 

My top 2 songs on this album  would be “On tha Linë” and “Rackz got më” (feat. Gunna). The Gunna feature was a nice touch, because Yeat hasn’t done a collaboration with a mainstream artist before from that subculture.     

There was also a Young Thug feature, an unexpected addition to the album that normally wouldn’t have any features at all. 

A Ken Carson feature was the final, and, in my opinion, the worst of the 3.

Yeat garnered even more clout due to the amount of other mainstream rappers co-signing him and reposting the album drop. 

Reviews have been mixed, some calling it Yeat’s best project and some calling it his worst.
