Afterlyfe (stylized as AftërLyfe) is the third studio album by American rapper Yeat. It was released on February 24, 2023, by Geffen Records, Field Trip Recordings, and Twizzy Rich. The follow-up to his EP Lyfë (2022), it contains a sole guest appearance from YoungBoy Never Broke Again as well as Yeat's alter egos Kranky Kranky & Luh Geeky.

Background

Prior to the album's release, Yeat said the album was not just "regular rap beats. It's a whole different new wave." He also expressed that he did not want "21 features on an album" and wanted "people just hearing me. I don't really need other people on my music" BNYX was the album's most prominent producer, contributing production to 8 of the album's 22 tracks. Frequent collaborators of Yeat's like Dulio, Bugz Ronin, Lukovic, & Rision also contributed production to AfterLyfe. AfterLyfe was also the first time Yeat collaborated with notable producers like CHASETHEMONEY (known for his work with artists like JID, Smokepurpp, and Ski Mask the Slump God) and Jonah Abraham (known for his work with artists like BROCKHAMPTON, Playboi Carti, and Young Thug).

AfterLyfe saw Yeat experiment with new styles such as house music and grunge rock on the songs "Nun I'd Change" and "Myself" respectively. The album also featured a greater amount of experimental vocals and vocal processing/effects from Yeat, as shown through his inclusion of his alter egos Luh Geeky and Kranky Kranky.

Critical reception

Шаблон:Music ratings Slant MagazineШаблон:'s Paul Attard noted that the album is "composed of demonic-sounding material with little attention paid to sequencing" and that it's "just Yeat himself slightly pitching his voice up or down an octave—that break up the slowly mounting monotony." Concluding his review, he adds that some tracks "display how one-dimensional his style can get when the material is spread too thin", however, he also notes that "despite these flaws, AftërLyfe confirms that in a sea of blatant copycats, Yeat remains a true original—albeit one who’s in desperate need of an editor."

Notes

• All songs are stylized in sentence case. In addition, any song title that contains the letter 'e' is replaced with 'ë', with the exception of "Nun I'd Change," which is stylized as "Nun id change." For example, "No More Talk" is stylized as "No morë talk". If a song contains two or more 'e's, then only the first one is replaced, with the exception of "Type Money," which is stylized as "Type monëy." However, "Bettr Off" is stylized as "Bëttr 0ff", "Rave Party" is stylized as "Rav3 p4rty", and "Demon" in "Bad Bend/Demon" is stylized as "DëMON".
• In the tracklist Yeat shared on Instagram, he additionally listed the mobile app Talking Ben as a feature on "How It Go", though this feature was removed prior to the official release of the song.
• "Heavyweight" contains background vocals from SeptembersRich.
• "Myself" contains additional vocals & guitar from BNYX. BNYX also played guitar on "Back Home".
• Yeat's alter ego Luh Geeky is styled on Spotify as "Luh geeky," and on Apple Music as "LUH GEEKY."
• With the exception of track 2, Yeat mixed and mastered the entirety of AfterLyfe by himself. Track 2 of AfterLyfe, "Shmunk" (featuring NBA YoungBoy), contains additional recording and mixing from audio engineer and music producer Jason Goldberg. Goldberg mixes and records the majority of NBA YoungBoy's music and thus engineered YoungBoy's portion of the song.
