Yeat
Noah Olivier Smith, known professionally as Yeat, is an American rapper and songwriter. He was born on February 26, 2000, in Irvine, California. He gained widespread attention with his 2021 mixtape *Up 2 Me*, which featured the breakout single "Monëy So Big." Yeat’s sound is marked by heavily autotuned vocals layered over distorted trap beats, and he popularized unique slang terms like "twizzy" and "Tonka." His 2022 album *2 Alivë* debuted at number 6 on the Billboard 200, solidifying his presence in the mainstream hip-hop scene. Yeat’s rise was fueled by viral moments on TikTok and SoundCloud, where tracks like "Get Busy" became club staples and social media challenges. Collaborations with producers like Bnyx and artists such as Lil Uzi Vert have expanded his reach. Complex has covered Yeat’s influence on the evolution of trap music and his role in shaping the language and sound of Gen Z rap culture.
