Yeat is the latest artist to try his hand at the double album concept. ADL – his sixth studio LP – arrived Friday (March 27), and touches on both his lifestyle and matters of the heart, as the acronym means both A Dangerous Lyfe and A Dangerous Love. And he couldn’t have picked better passengers to go along this winding road of unpredictability with.

Don Toliver, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Elton John, Kid Cudi, Julia Wolf, and more big names appear on the 21-track effort, which clocks in at just a little bit over one hour. Each act has wrestled with their morality, experienced the highs and lows of love, and had their successes, thus helping the 26-year-old artist make sense of the abstract painting on his latest canvas. 

With this being his sixth album in six years, and his presence both in the culture and on the charts steadily growing, the Capitol Records signee has the opportunity to break through a ceiling here. His name is more widespread, his co-signs have gotten bigger and bigger, and in a time where fans are starving for new stars, he’s taken the ball and scored on multiple occasions.  

He understood what this album meant, pairing the heavy confidence of “Purpose General” with recognition of where he started from on “Up From Here.” He also did what most legitimate stars do, and showed he had more than just his signature sound that got him here in the tuck, with songs like “My Time,” “Back Home” and “Went Wrong.”

Ultimately, it remains to be seen how this album will land among the people, and whether or not he can add another No. 1 on the Billboard 200 to his resume. But, for now, let’s see where these 21 songs stack up against one another, and whether his departures from what got him here can hold their own against the true Yeat sound.
