  • After holding on to this album for 2 years, Lil Yachty explains his intention to start a new chapter in his career with his psych-rock album ‘Let’s Start Here.’.
    Lil Yachty sits down with Zane Lowe discuss his latest project, which became the #1 Rock Album in the country. Yachty explains how deeply Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side of The Moon’ inspires him, his music, and his approach to being an artist. Yachty also discusses his friendship with Drake and his experience collaborating with Mac DeMarco. Lil Yachty also discusses the creation and release of "Poland", and how that viral hit is a stark contrast from 'Let's Start Here.'.

    I’m 71 yrs old and grew up with all of his references. And yet he comes out of it with something uniquely his own. Last night I lied down in a dark room tripping on mushrooms and immersed myself in this soundscape. Incredible experience.

Couple of days later i'm seeing music channels saying that the same lil yachty made a psych rock album - i couldnt quite marry the idea of this joke song about taking the wock to poland with something akin to Tame Impala, this had to be investigated.
    57 minutes of bliss later, and you have my full attention and my respect Yachty. This is a beautiful album, and i cannot wait to hear/see where he goes next.

And all the press he's been doing leading up to this album has really impressed me. I think the album is ambitious and powerful and that is something I never expected to hear from Yachty. I think he has separated himself from his peers with this album.

      Just to spell it out to you... Yachty isn't doing anything different. In fact his vocals are the weak point of the album for me, while instrumentals seem to be written by other people. So reading this album is like Pink Floyd's music "reincarnated and modernized" just leaves the same bad taste in my mouth as hearing Greta Van Fleet.

    I'll admit i didnt exactly like this new generation of rappers at first, even though they are all talented. But I've gained a new interest in this music due to its genre bending and the meshing of rock and rap. Its more rap than rock whereas groups like linkin park were more rock than rap and i think thats what makes it so unique and just good. Really love this style and i think juice wrld was one of the best at it 🙏
