Afterlyfe (stylized as AftërLyfe) is the third studio album by American rapper Yeat. It was released on February 24, 2023, by Geffen Records, Field Trip Recordings, and Twizzy Rich. The follow-up to his EP Lyfë (2022), it contains a sole guest appearance from YoungBoy Never Broke Again as well as Yeat's alter egos Kranky Kranky & Luh Geeky.
Prior to the album's release, Yeat said the album was not just "regular rap beats. It's a whole different new wave." He also expressed that he did not want "21 features on an album" and wanted "people just hearing me. I don't really need other people on my music"
Slant Magazines Paul Attard noted that the album is "composed of demonic-sounding material with little attention paid to sequencing" and that it's "just Yeat himself slightly pitching his voice up or down an octaveâÂÂthat break up the slowly mounting monotony." Concluding his review, he adds that some tracks "display how one-dimensional his style can get when the material is spread too thin", however, he also notes that "despite these flaws, AftërLyfe confirms that in a sea of blatant copycats, Yeat remains a true originalâÂÂalbeit one who's in desperate need of an editor."
