Yeat
Yeat is back—and stranger than ever.
The genre-warping rap innovator has just dropped the mind-bending new video for “Loose Leaf,” a standout track from his recently released Dangerous Summer EP. Directed by EDGLRD and executive produced by cult filmmaker Harmony Korine (Kids, Gummo), the video trades in gritty surrealism, capturing Yeat in a Florida motel surrounded by live alligators, dreamlike chaos, and swamp-soaked atmosphere. It’s as unsettling as it is mesmerizing—exactly what you’d expect from a collaboration between two of the most unpredictable creative forces in modern music and film.
Korine’s obsession with alligators meets Yeat’s dystopian-futurist aesthetic in a visual that blurs the line between high-art and fever dream. Shot entirely in Broward County, the video plays like a warped travelogue from a place that shouldn’t exist—perfectly mirroring the eerie, volatile sonic textures Yeat has made his trademark.
“Loose Leaf” is just one of many layered moments on Dangerous Summer, an EP that continues Yeat’s ascent as a fearless tastemaker and cultural architect. Featuring collaborators like FKA Twigs, Don Toliver, and SahBabii, the project bends genres and explodes expectations. It’s not just a release—it’s a signal flare for what’s to come on Yeat’s rumored full-length LP, ADL (A Dangerous Lyfe).
If Dangerous Summer feels like a turning point, it’s because Yeat’s entire 2025 has been one long victory lap. After last year’s chart-topping LYFESTYLE debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with over 89K first-week units sold, he’s only ramped things up. He’s played to a 120K+ crowd at Romania’s Beach, Please! Festival, closed down Poland’s Clout Festival, and made surprise appearances with Drake at Wireless in London. Just weeks ago, he previewed his viral autotune-heavy remix of Drake’s “Feel No Ways” during a Coachella set that featured a towering 50-foot golden bell—an homage to his breakout single “Gët Busy.”
Even the rollout of Dangerous Summer has been signature Yeat: guerrilla signage with nuclear fallout vibes, cover art shot by Harmony Korine with real alligators (that almost bit him), and motel-based creative lockdowns in Florida. This is high-concept chaos—and Yeat is firmly in control.
Now 25, the rapper continues to defy categorization, with five Billboard top 10 albums in under three years, international tours, and a sonic palette that ranges from bass-heavy trap to cinematic abstraction, Yeat is carving a lane all his own. The “Loose Leaf” video isn’t just a piece of content—it’s a mission statement: Yeat isn’t just building a sound, he’s building a universe. One alligator at a time.
