2023 has been a productive year for Lil Yachty. Back in January, he stepped outside of the hip hop realm with his fifth studio LP, Let’s Start Here., a 14-song body of work with assists from Diana Gordon, Teezo Touchdown, Justine Skye, Fousheé, Ant Clemons, Daniel Caesar, and more. Since then, the Atlanta talent continued his momentum via loose cuts like “Strike (Holster),” “Satellite,” “SOLO STEPPIN CRETE BOY,” and “SLIDE.”
On Friday (Aug. 25), Yachty returned with a new single titled “TESLA.” As with his more recent efforts, the MitchGoneMad and WessGoneMad-produced drop is full of boastful bars about the streets, the high-end lifestyle, and more.
“I ain’t goin’ back and forth with that n**ga, he ain’t even made no millions, he keep on droppin’ the block, it’s a real reason, back and forth, back and forth, ’til it ain’t even, ’til it ain’t easy, seek help, immediately, go, ooh, ooh, ooh, gas him up and get him killed, my b**ch spoiled like the milk, he get tough off a pill, he get peeled, send that b**ch home, actin’ goofy, my cup spilled, b**ch, you for real?”
“TESLA” also came with a matching visual courtesy of Cole Bennett and Lyrical Lemonade. Viewers can see Yachty rocking stylish outfits in a variety of polychromatic locations.
In September, Lil’ Boat will embark on “The Field Trip Tour,” which will run through a wealth of North American cities before heading overseas in November.
