Review
"AftërLyfe" by Yeat is a bold and experimental dive into the rapper’s unique sonic universe, delivering a high-energy blend of distorted trap beats, alien-like ad-libs, and futuristic production choices. Across the album, Yeat leans even further into his signature vocal style, warping his voice with pitch-shifting effects and layering it over chaotic, bass-heavy instrumentals. Tracks like "Now" and "Split" showcase his knack for infectious hooks and atmospheric sound design, while moments of introspection are rare but impactful. While occasionally repetitive in lyrical themes, "AftërLyfe" stands out as a cohesive and immersive experience that pushes the boundaries of contemporary trap music. Fans of Yeat's previous work will appreciate the evolution, while newcomers may find it an acquired taste—but undeniably original.
