ADL is the sixth studio album by the American rapper Yeat. It was released through Lyfestyle Corporation, Field Trip Recordings, and Capitol Records on March 27, 2026. A double album, it consists of the discs A Dangerous Lyfe and A Dangerous Love. It features collaborations with Don Toliver, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Kid Cudi, Grimes, Julia Wolf, Kylie Jenner (under her alter-ego King Kylie), Swizz Beatz, Joji, and 070 Shake. Production was handled by Dylan Brady, Bnyx, Rampa, Synthetic, Lucid, and Sapjer, among others. It was supported by the single "Let King Tonka Talk". To promote the album, Yeat will embark on the Love/Lyfe Tour.
Development on ADL began during the production of Yeat's fifth album, Lyfestyle. In an October 2024 interview with The Fader, the producer Synthetic described the emerging sound of ADL as a more refined version of 2093, Yeat's fourth album; Synthetic also estimated that ADL would take "three or four months to a year" to be completed. In July 2025, Yeat announced Dangerous Summer, an extended play that serves as a precursor to the album. On July 26, 2025, producer Bnyx confirmed that Dangerous Summer would be its own separate project from ADL. The EP was released on August 1, 2025.
In an October 2025 interview with Complex, Yeat characterized his approach to ADL as "polished and meticulous", a departure from the rapid pace of production he had become accustomed to over the course of his career. He explained that during the making of his EP Dangerous Summer, he began to revisit songs after recording sessions, something he would rarely do in the past. He credited this shift to sobriety, the end of a relationship, and a conversation with his manager, Zack Bia.
While working on ADL, Yeat left his house more often and found inspiration while traveling through Europe and Japan. In Saint-Tropez, France, he rented villas for himself, the producers Bnyx and Sapjer, and an engineer so that they could work in tandem. During production, Yeat would also listen to the ambient music of artists like Jon Hassell to identify potential samples.
In a mixed review, Clash found ADL bloated and, at times, aimless. Pointing to the list of collaborators, which ranges from YoungBoy Never Broke Again to Elton John, they write that both discs lack a coherent identity, likening them to "a widescreen blockbuster that is big on stunning vistas, and short on plot". While complementing Yeat's "wholly distinctive ... slick, effects-laden flows" on songs like "Griddle", "2Nite", "Lose Control", "No More Ghosts", and "Real Life Shit", they also highlight "Liv Like Dis", "Silk Face", and "Geek Luv" as examples of excess holding the album back for all but the most dedicated fans.
Paul Attard for Slant stated that the album "sacrifices something central: the zany, off-kilter personality that once defined both Yeat and his music."
