Lil Yachty is an artist who likes to keep his fans on their toes, whether that means delivering a psych rock album, collaborating with a folk singer like Faye Webster, or simply jumping on a track with one of the biggest rappers in the world. His latest unexpected move appears to be a project with James Blake.
The pair both shared a video on Instagram overnight showing Yachty discuss his working relationship with Blake, a producer he jokes "hasn't many followers" but has "worked with a quite substantial amount of hip hop artists." The album is titled Bad Cameo and while an official release date remains TBC, Yachty's IG post assures us it will be "soon."
"This project is so left for both of us," Yachty also says in the clip. "I don’t think people know that we know each other exist.”
Blake previously shared an image of him and Yachty in the studio in March last year. Soon after he debuted a track they made together at a CMYK event last summer. He is not the only U.K. electronic artist Yachty has connected with, just last week he appeared alongside Overmono and Fred Again.. at an event in New York.
