Yeat Releases “Naked” Music Video Starring Ice Spice & Tour Dates
On the heels of the release of ADL (A Dangerous Lyfe / A Dangerous Love) and the announcement of its accompanying North American run, Multi-platinum rapper and cultural disruptor Yeat has released a music video for “Naked” starring Bronx rapper Ice Spice. The self-directed video captures Yeatrapping about his intimate obsession with his significant other, portraying a miniature version of himself serenading a full-size Ice Spice from vulnerable positions—dangling from her shoe or perched on her hand.
With production from Keinemusik member Rampa, “Naked” arrived as a standout track from the newly released ADL. With appearances from new contributors including Elton John, Grimes, and NBA YoungBoy, alongside returning collaborators like Don Toliver, Joji, and Julia Wolf, ADL spans genres, sonic influences, and eight years of musical evolution–ushering in Yeat’s boldest and most cinematic era yet. ADL arrived following months of anticipation, fueled by a non-stop rollout capped off by Yeat’s first sit-down interview in five years with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.
In February, commuters in New York City were met with a prosthetic version of Yeat’s arm hanging out of the back of a taxi with a bumper sticker beside it reading “LYFE IS DANGEROUS”. Following that, Yeat hosted Twizz City Night at the Portland Trail Blazers game and released the first visual look into ADL, reimagining Yeat as ‘The Most Dangerous Man Alive’. In the first weeks of March, Yeat became the first rapper ever to release official album box sets and CDs with Nike, an accomplishment that was quickly followed by the release of “Let King Tonka Talk” featuring Kylie Jenner, a headlining performance at ComplexCon Hong Kong, and a full-page spread in the New York Times announcing the album’s features. ADL (A Dangerous Lyfe / A Dangerous Love) is out now.
Earlier this week, Yeat announced his upcoming The LOVE/LYFE Tour, a North American run in support of his blockbuster new double album ADL (A Dangerous Lyfe / A Dangerous Love), out now via Field Trip Recordings / Capitol Records. Slayr, BNYX will join the tour as special guests in select cities.

Yeat’s last album, the #1 Billboard 200 charting LYFESTYLE, launched in 2024 with a three-show run across New York, Los Angeles, and Portland, debuting at No. 1 with over 89K equivalent album units sold — marking his highest first-week sales and fifth top 10 debut in under three years following Lyfë (No. 10 in 2022), 2 Alivë (No. 6 in 2022), AftërLyfe (No. 4 in 2023), and 2093 (No. 2 in 2024). He continued that momentum into 2025, previewing “Feël no wayz (Yeat mix)” during his Coachella Sahara Stage set beneath a towering golden bell, releasing standout singles including “The Bell” and his feature on “Work” with Anyma, and completing a nine-city EU and UK tour capped by his first-ever London headline show, which The Guardian called a “ribcage-reverberating success”.
His first and only EP of 2025, DANGEROUS SUMMER –with features from FKA twigs, Don Toliver, SahBabii, NGeeYL, and BNYX®– capped off his biggest summer yet, including a co-headlining performance with Don Toliver at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash Festival, a gold certification for “COMË N GO”, a surprise appearance with Drake at Wireless Festival in London, drawing a 120K+ crowd at Romania’s Beach, Please! Festival, and closing out the three-day Clout Festival in Poland. Following this, Yeatlinked with Drake and Julia Wolf for the single “Dog House”, hopped on “PIXELATED KISSES”(Remix) with Joji, and “Rendezvous” off Don Toliver’s #1 Billboard charting album OCTANE, and expanded his cultural footprint with his first Nike collaboration, the Nike Air Goadome Twizz, which coincided with a headlining “Yeat & Friends” set at ComplexCon Las Vegas featuring surprise appearances from Quavo, Lil Yachty, Don Toliver, Sexyy Red, xaviersobased, and Che.
Low-fi melodies, clever cutting lyrics, and a distinctly mysterious persona are all highlights that build up the enigma that is Yeat, one of the most interesting rises in music. The prolific rapper broke through in 2021 when his song “Gët Busy” began appearing in TikTok videos. The track became so ubiquitous that it caught the attention of heavyweight rappers, including Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Gunna, and many more. As his fame skyrocketed, so did the mania surrounding the artist’s cult-like following which led to the shutdown of a show in Los Angeles at The Roxy. Now, with two headlining tours under his belt, six Billboard Top 10 Album Debuts, over 8 billion global streams, Yeat is well on his way to superstardom. His rise has been fueled by major festival appearances, including a standout set at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, a surprise performance joining Anyma at The Las Vegas Sphere (making Yeat the first rapper to perform at the iconic venue), a co-headlining performance with Don Toliver at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash Festival, a surprise appearance with Drake at Wireless Festival in London, and a 120K+ crowd playing at Romania’s Beach, Please! Festival.
Yeat was born Noah Smith in 2000. He began releasing music around 2015, taking notes from Young Thug’s melodic strangeness and the inventive production styles of rappers who were rising to prominence as he grew up. He started out using the moniker Lil Yeat, but shortened it to Yeat in 2018. That year, he released his first mixtape, Deep Blue Strips.
From then on, he was in hyperdrive. As his fame skyrocketed, Yeat released the mixtapes Alivë and 4L, and the Trëndi EP, before the release of his first proper studio album. Up 2 Më was issued in September 2021 followed by a second studio LP, 2 Alivë, in early 2022. Just last year, Yeat was tapped by superstar Drake to collaborate on record “IDGAF” which is featured on Drake’s album For All The Dogs.
The song, which was an instant hit, debuted at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #1 on the Billboard Global 200. Recently, Yeat’s LYFESTYLE reached #1 on the Billboard 200 chart selling 89K equivalent album units –– LYFESTYLEmarked Yeat’s fourth entry into the Top 10 in only two years. To date, Yeat has had six albums debut within the Top 10; Lyfë (No. 10 in 2022), 2 Alivë (No. 6 in 2022), AftërLyfe (No. 4 in 2023), 2093 (No. 2 in 2024), LYFESTYLE (No. 1 in 2024), and DANGEROUS SUMMER (No. 9 in 2025).
