Yeat, celebrating his birthday on Feb. 26, has dropped his first collaborative track with Liverpool’s EsDeeKid, titled “Made It On Our Own,” the lead single from his upcoming album A Dangerous Lyfe (“ADL”). The song features triumphant horns, vocal samples, and slow-grooving trap drums, leaning into the viral sensibilities of EsDeeKid’s recent string of hits and Yeat’s otherworldly vocal delivery.
The track arrives after Yeat and EsDee teased a possible collaboration for months. The duo were seen in St. Barth. Yeat then gifted the Scouse rapper a pair of his Nike boots and made a guest appearance at his LA show. They subsequently posted billboards in their respective cities of Portland and Liverpool on their stories featuring the ‘ADL’ logo. During this time, the masked UK rapper has continued o grow exponentially, with his album REBEL charting on the Billboard 200 and garnering over 20 million monthly listeners.
The release also arrives with a music video filmed entirely inside Drake’s mansion, known as The Embassy. The visual was directed by Director X, a frequent Drake collaborator and the creative force behind the videos for “Hotline Bling” and “Life Is Good.” Yeat is seen in his Nike ski mask and a RAF bomber jacket, walking through the hallways of the massive house, seemingly referencing Drake’s “Toosie Slide” video from 2020. He also sports a brand new ‘ADL’ chain designed by Alex Moss.
The video includes cameos from Cole Bennett, who is seen filming Yeat, and Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. The quarterback reveals himself by hopping out of an ‘ADL’-branded truck and throwing a football to Yeat.
Additionally, the selection of Williams seems intentional on Drake’s part, as he is nicknamed the “ICEMAN” by teammates and coaches, which is also the rumored title of Drake’s upcoming studio album. The video humorously ends with Yeat receiving a call from “THE BOY” (Drake) as they leave the house after enjoying its pool, basketball court, and other amenities.
Yeat continues to tease his upcoming album ‘A Dangerous Lyfe,’ from arms hanging out of taxis to ‘ADL’ billboards in different countries and sitting courtside with a model in an ‘ADL’ tracksuit. It seems we are very close to the project’s release.
