Noah Olivier Smith[1] (born February 26, 2000),[2] known professionally as Yeat (occasionally stylized as YEAT /ˈjiːt/ YEET),[3] is an American rapper, singer-songwriter, and record producer. He is known for his experimental sound—most notably the rage 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—becoming his first album to reach the top-five, 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 (in February) and Lyfestyle (in October). 2093 debuted and peaked at number-two while Lyfestyle peaked at number-one on the Billboard 200, the latter being his first number-one debut.[6]
