PAST PRESS ON LIL YACHTY:
"Lil Yachty is probably going to change the world." - ROLLING STONE
"Yachty is the master of our joy." - PITCHFORK
"Yachty in his own unorthodox way has put hip-hop culture in a choke-hold. He doesn't show any signs of relinquishing his grip." - COMPLEX
"Lil Yachty has created an alternate universe in which traditional narratives of rap excess are reframed as fantastical stories. He has mainlined Gucci Mane's vocal quirk - a penchant for odd rhyme structures cloaked in unlikely melodies." - THE NEW YORK TIMES
"It's commonplace for young rap stars to claim that they've transcended hip-hop; it's rarer for them to actually do it. Yachty does." - THE NEW YORKER
"Besides the actual sun, there is no source of joy in the world right now brighter and more sustaining than
Lil Yachty ... So basically, the moral of the story is: cancel all your plans and stay at home, and instead just understand that the Goodest Night has now been had, by one Lil Boat, Esq. You will never have as good a night as
Lil Yachty ..." - NOISEY
"The sheer obvious joy that Yachty takes in making music is one of his best qualities, and its infectiousness- is one of the main reasons why people are flocking to him the way they are. It's beautiful to see someone so fully consumed by their passion, and inspiring to see an artist so confidently exploring his form." - ESQUIRE
