Review: Lil Yachty's latest album 'Let's Start Here' has been hailed by some as a prog rock opus, bleeding his synthetic hip-hop / electronic influences into the dreamy and beat-switchy ambition of the 80s' rock musician. While sounding somewhat electronic, Yachty claims it to be "all live instrumentation", aiming for a curveball hit. The album hints at subjects such as mental health, conspiracies and failed romance, and its bold addition of Yachty's signature autotune furthers the idea that this is a boldly brash fusion project, exploring a range of emotions not usually explored by contemporary rappers.
