Probably the perfect song for after being fired.

I know Yeat is extremely popular, but I've always thought he was vaguely on the same level as some other artists such as Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vert, whom I tend to strongly dislike.
I'm a huge Kendrick Lamar and Tyler, The Creator fan. That's usually my vibe.
TikTok has been shoving Yeat's music in my face for about 2 weeks now and I finally caved and decided to give his stuff a real chance. This guy is fucking amazing! I listened to Up 2 Më and really liked it, as well as some singles and remixes.
I mean, this goes insanely hard!!!
Do you guys like his stuff? What are your favourite tracks/projects?
Also, what other artists do you recommend that are similar to Yeat?

Pretty good!
Ovrkast. hits us with some nice delivery every time, it's clear this dude really knows his way around a beat. His voice is very interesting too, he puts tons of emotion in every word, and I love it!
The lyrics are nice too, he talks about his insecurities as an artist, his confidence, his goals and ambitions, his life and his art. He's passionate about music, and he says it with his chest. It's inspiring really, it feels great.
The beats are pretty good too, some nice samples... But they're a bit flat, and the drums are just fine. Nothing to write home about really, but they do their job I suppose. The focus is the vocals, so it's not a big issue.
Overall, it's a nice EP. It doesn't have the depth I would like, it's rather short too, even for an EP, so it feels more like a sample of what ovrkast. could do than a full-fledged project. There's some really good stuff in here, but also some very mediocre stuff. Still, I'll be looking out for what he does next.
What do you think?

Brilliant lyricism with better production.
This album is, simply put, incredible. Earl didn't disappoint on any level, his bars are emotional and packed full of meaning. He really is a word-smith. Topics of depression, loneliness, colonialism, and reflections on culture. And he manages to do all this with his signature flows and delivery; I think there's nobody out there right now that sounds quite like Earl Sweatshirt. He's unique, and that's fantastic.
That being said, the production is just on another level. The Alchemist might be the greatest producer right now. If you don't believe that, I beg you to check out this record, because he really knocked it out of the park. He did a bit of everything, more rhythmic beats, more melody, but all of them with incredible, soulful samples.
This album has 2 versions, the original and the streaming version, which have 3 different tracks. Both are very good, but the original version is a bit better. my brother, the wind is way better than Mancala.
Overall, this is a fantastic project that you should definitely check out, if you haven't yet. The lyricism just blows damn near every other album released this year out of the water, and the production is on another plane entirely. What's there not to love? But hey,
what do you think?
Best song: Vin Skully
Worst song: Mancala
