Yeat‘s new album 2093 is projected to top the charts in its first week out, nudging Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign‘s Vultures 1 down a notch to the No. 2 spot for its second week.
According to a report from Hits Daily Double on Friday (February 23), 2093 is expected to move approximately 72,597 equivalent units in its first week of release, and will arrive at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 when the newest chart is announced later this weekend.
Vultures 1, which debuted at No. 1 on last week’s chart, will likely arrive at No. 2 this week with just a few thousand less units at 72,418.
Yeat has made it clear that he doesn’t plan on doing music forever, and he’s going out in a blaze of glory.
The Portland native took to his Instagram stories on Thursday (February 22) to reveal that he’s got quite a bit of music for his devoted fans to enjoy — but also made it clear that the party isn’t going to last forever.
“Imma give yall a year of music then Imma tuck away and work on something life changing, ok,” he wrote.
He didn’t specify, however, what that “life changing” thing will be.
Fans, however, can rest easy knowing that the first of Yeat’s new music is already out and features contributions from Hip Hop icons like Future and Lil Wayne.
The Portland-born artist dropped 2093 — which he has been teasing for quite some time — on February 16.
Over three months prior, he hinted at the follow-up to 2023’s Aftërlyfe by editing a caption on an Instagram post to read: “…..#2093…??????#ceo…..”
Yeat has been promoting the upcoming album by projecting videos that offer a “better life” at iconic locations including the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. He even promoted the album with a crop circle outside of Kansas City, Missouri.
Though Weezy and Future Hendrix are the only artists featured on 2093, Yeat has recently been in the studio with a number of other rap luminaries.
At the end of last month, the “My wrist” rapper posted a carousel of images, one of which featured him in the studio with Childish Gambino and another included a FaceTime screenshot with “IDGAF” collaborator Drake.
2093 continues Yeat’s trend of including very few collaborators on his albums. On Aftërlyfe, the only guest features are Yeat’s alter egos Kranky Kranky and Luh Geeky, and NBA YoungBoy.
Kanye will be lucky if he goes gold.

Couple things to consider. This is an independent album that major distributors are continuously pulling off their platforms, radio stations aren’t playing the music, every media outlet is trashing the album and all music companies want this album to go away. Imagine if Taylor Swift, Drake, Travis Scott and etc decided to go the independent route. What Ye is doing is revolutionary in music right now and people will eventually follow suit. This album will easily go platinum and multi platinum overseas. This album has 6-7 easy smash hit singles. Carnival alone will go 10x platinum in Europe. I said this before and I’ll say this again. No one moves the culture like YE.
Going indie is nothing new. ffs. I see why Dump loves the poorly educated. Kornye West is wack and has been since his first solo album.
I still have no idea who the fuck yeat is. Where does this site find these guys ?
if you dont know him you R living under a rock my guy
@I’mGay-me-lord in the comments whose booty hole is hurting. The decision for you to not support Ye is a fraction size of a nuclear cell honey of this movement. Indie style at a massive scale without the machines conditions, control and also the artists earning astronomical bank being indie. Please go lie on a bed full of thorns and barb wires, face down and prone bone it.
