]]> Lil Yachty drops surprise mixtape Lil Boat. From the Yeezy Season 3 runway to a project that seems to have appeared from the thin Atlanta air, Yachty’s rise has been anything but orthodox. Red beaded braids, gold teeth, and pioneering mentality, the Sailing Team front man’s gurgle-rap sound and drowned out sonics make for a drug-fueled, trippy narrative from the quirky mind of the Lil Boat artist. Sitting at 14 cuts, Lil Boat is a windy path of masterful off-key notes, hilariously adroit punchlines, and a tangibly relatable simplicity. Yacht’s “Minnesota” remix enlists the help of Migos’ Quavo and Young Thug and is the major standout from the project, but records like “Not My Bro, “Good Day,” (w/ Quality Control’s Skippa Da Flippa) and “1Night” give us a fist hand look at what happens when quirky meets musical evolution. Lil Boat is youth; a first-hand rendering of an Atlanta wave that continues to bend and flip the original ideal of Hip-Hop sound. Lil Boat (and Yachty himself) exist somewhere between an eclectically-driven rock star and a Hip-Hop character whose identity is nearly as intriguing as the actual music itself. Sure, the Kanye co-sign has placed Yachty in a very fortunate position, but in a time where appearance can take precedence, the 18-year old ATLien is absolutely seizing the moment. And the boat imagery? Flawless.
