2093

Album Review by Cole Long

Every year, there is always a thought that circles all audiences, of all genres. “What is that next sound?”, or “who is the next artist that will gain traction”. It is almost impossible to tell, but this is one that many have anticipated for a while.

 

Yeat has lived up to the hype with his new project “2093”, that delivers some of the most unique sounds that the industry has heard in a VERY long time. Anticipation has been building for months leading the release, stemming from countless Instagram live snippets, and one of wildest promo campaigns ever in hip hop. 

 

Moving away from more of his traditional sounds, “2093” boasts a selection of experimental melodies that I can only conceptualize as alien club music. Although this is a bold new wave, Yeat has been showing interest in this type of music even in his previous albums.

 

Tracks like “Nun id change” from his 2023 “AftërLyfe” project show a similar club/spacey bounce that Yeat delivered a specialty on in “2093”, and from his proven track record of improvement, this sound will only continue to evolve.

 

The album ultimately highlights Yeat’s addictive melodies and vocal work, paired amazing symbolism and reference to not being a human. This is a very common theme in the album, and almost what his whole style is based on. Songs like “Bought The Earth” emphasize this perfectly.

 

Overall, the album was initially a bold attempt at a new sound, and there was no disappointment on the delivery. The bold new melodies were incomparable to anything out right now, and given Yeat’s track record, it can only go up from here.
