Afterlyfe
2023 studio album by Yeat
Afterlyfe (stylized as AftërLyfe) is the third studio album by American rapper Yeat. It was released on February 24, 2023, by Geffen Records, Field Trip Recordings, and Twizzy Rich. The follow-up to his EP Lyfë (2022), it contains a sole guest appearance from YoungBoy Never Broke Again as well as Yeat's alter egos Kranky Kranky & Luh Geeky. The album received mixed reviews from music critics, who praised Noah's new sound, but criticized its style. The album debuted on number four on US Billboard 200, selling 54,000 equivalent units on its first week, while it debuted atop the Billboard Top Rap Albums.
Background
Prior to the album's release, Yeat said the album was not just "regular rap beats. It's a whole different new wave." He also expressed that he did not want "21 features on an album" and wanted "people just hearing me. I don't really need other people on my music"
Critical reception
Slant Magazine's Paul Attard noted that the album is "composed of demonic-sounding material with little attention paid to sequencing" and that it's "just Yeat himself slightly pitching his voice up or down an octave—that break up the slowly mounting monotony." Concluding his review, he adds that some tracks "display how one-dimensional his style can get when the material is spread too thin", however, he also notes that "despite these flaws, AftërLyfe confirms that in a sea of blatant copycats, Yeat remains a true original—albeit one who's in desperate need of an editor."

Notes
All songs are stylized in sentence case. In addition, any song title that contains the letter 'e' is replaced with 'ë', with the exception of "Nun I'd Change," which is stylized as "Nun id change." For example, "No More Talk" is stylized as "No morë talk". If a song contains two or more 'e's, then only the first one is replaced, with the exception of "Type Money," which is stylized as "Type monëy." However, "Bettr Off" is stylized as "Bëttr 0ff", "Rave Party" is stylized as "Rav3 p4rty", and "Demon" in "Bad Bend/Demon" is stylized as "DëMON".

Why this record matters
“Afterlyfe” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Afterlyfe, studio and album provides the most credible route into that argument.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q117032355. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023 and 2022.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
