Theme & Lyrics  

“Flawless, flawless, flawless, flawless, yeah!” Yeat kicks off his 2022 EP, Lyfë with a surefire bang.  Actually, what I should’ve said is that he kicks Lyfë off with a surefire rap banger in “Flawlëss”.  The opener commences with an extended intro, performed by sharedatbitchlikeapizza and NOLOVEJROC which sets the tone.  After the intro, “Flawlëss” settles in with the badass, menacing, minor-key production work of BYNX®, as well as a confident Yeat delivering the chorus, followed by the post-chorus (excerpted above).

“You don’t exist

Take a Perc’ in the Tonka, that’s it

Money swollen like cyst, huh

They done put faith in the kid, huh…”

Woo! Initially, the chorus comes off a bit odd and not necessarily catchy.  Following the verse by Lil Uzi Vert, however, you might say the chorus endears itself.  Beyond the chorus and post-chorus, Yeat doesn’t drop a verse, leaving the heavy lifting to a turnt-up Uzi Vert. Uzi brags about drip – shocker.  Some of the finer things in life he mentions are Cartiers, Audemar, and Balenciaga.  Of course, we also get a TMI sex reference as Uzi Vert apparently isn’t a proponent of safe sex – “Yeah, I’m so raw I don’t need to use a condom (I don’t use a what?), I’m sorry…” Hmm…

Final Thoughts  

While the condom reference is sus, there’s nothing sus about “Flawlëss”, which is the perfect rap joint to turn up while driving. That beat, with a good car stereo –  simply irresistible! With a vibe like this, it’s easy to understand why Yeat is kind of a big deal.
