DANGEROUS SUMMER

the take

Yeat is an artist I enjoy a bit and whose music I really check out when he releases new music. I'm not one of those diehard fans of his who lives to rage every second (my bones partially won't let me do that anymore), but he's had some decent projects since I discovered his music sometime in 2022. Normally, though, Yeat does very little to experiment with new styles in his music. "DANGEROUS SUMMER" is very different from almost everything else he's released so far because there's a lot of variety on here. First off, I'm glad this "EP" is only eleven tracks long because it allows Yeat less album runtime to do what he wants, kind of making him a bit constrained in a sense. I have to respect Yeat for at least taking some time to craft his most "locked in" project to date. Lyrically speaking, there is a bit more substance to it than usual (although still not like "lyrical miracle..." shit), but what caught me off-guard is how Yeat sounds more coherent on his verses. That made me want to continue checking out every song instead of losing interest, mostly because I'm still stuck like, "Damn, he couldn't have done this sooner?". As for the EP's sound, Yeat decided to make sure each track sonically sounds different from one another. The end result is that we have a generally consistent project that isn't too terrible, even with its few low points ("2TONE"). "OH I DID" and "IM YEAT" are two of my standout favorites on here. Yeat's "DANGEROUS SUMMER" is a step into the right direction to see his evolution as an artist while also staying true to himself and his come up.
