In January, Lil Yachty shared a new album called Let's Start Here., a psychedelic rock album that saw the mumble rap pioneer pick up threads of Pink Floyd and Yves Tumor. “Fuck any of the albums I dropped before this one,” Yachty told Billboard in an interview that stoked controversy for his insistence that he released Let's Start Here.
for "respect," a statement some took as a dismissal of hip-hop's credibility as an art form (he later denied this). There have been signs, however, that Yachty has not left rap behind entirely.
In March he tweeted his verse on the 2022 track “Set It Off Freestyle" with DC2Trill, writing: “I be quiet… but seriously I don’t think u n***** can fuck wit me when it comes to this rap shit.” Today (April 7), Yachty shares the full version of "Strike (Holster)," a highly-requested snippet since it first emerged last year. It's a pleasant return to his melodic rap sound with space-age synths and Yachty's iconic warble laced throughout.

Ditto Music has settled a legal dispute with Lil Yachty which related to the promotion of Opulous, the music NFT start-up and sister company to the DIY distributor.The rapper – real name Miles McCollum – went legal in January last year via the courts in California, claiming that Opulous had used his name and brand as part of its launch communications in 2021, even though he had never agreed to get involved in the new venture.Ditto was also named as a defendant – as was Ditto and Opulous founder Lee Parsons – on the basis that they had both posted about those launch communications on their respective social media channels.McCollum’s lawsuit conceded that he and his management team had met with Parsons to discuss Opulous, which encourages fans to invest in new music in return for a royalty right linked to any tracks they support, all secured via NFTs on the blockchain.However, said lawsuit insisted, they never agreed to work with the NFT start-up, or for Lil Yachty’s name to be linked to it in formal communications.In a media statement responding to the lawsuit, Opulous insisted that it had, in fact, secured the necessary approvals before linking Lil Yachty to its NFTs platform. However, it was Ditto and Parsons that formally responded through the courts.They both tried to get the case dismissed on jurisdiction grounds, arguing that Ditto is a UK-based company and Parsons is a British citizen with no formal connections to California.However, the judge ruled that Ditto – with US addresses on its website, employees recruited in the US and American events promoted on its social media – fell under the jurisdiction of the Californian courts.

Kardashian then says, “Yep, I saw it on the internet.” The song’s lyrics are standard Drake fare about the travails of being a rich superstar looking for love: “I need someone to be patient with me/ Someone to get money with, not take it from me/ Look, they don’t even need to be as famous as me/ I don’t think I’ll meet them at the places I be,” raps Drake for the song’s chorus.
