Lil Yachty Celebrates Turning 24 With ‘Birthday Mix 6’ EP Featuring Lil Tecca
Lil Yachty is continuing a birthday tradition. In celebration of his 24th birthday on Monday (August 23) Lil Boat is giving a gift back to the fans in the form of his Birthday Mix 6 EP.
The Atlanta native shows off his versatility on the compact nine-track project while tapping into his rapping bag, affection for R&B and even added an alternative rock-leaning song to close out the EP, which sounds more like something Machine Gun Kelly would make with Travis Barker these days.
“happy birthday 2 me, kobeeeeeee,” Lil Yachty wrote while pointing out that he shares a birthday with the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant.

Birthday Mix 6 features assists from Lil Tecca, Cactus Jack’s SoFaygo and Concrete Boyz signees (Lil Yachty’s imprint) Draft Day and DC2trill.
“Lexy Sove” finds Lil Yachty using an Auto-Tuned flow over an instrumental that samples Ne-Yo’s multi-platinum hit “Sexy Love.” Earlier in August, Yachty asked the R&B hitmaker to clear the record in his Instagram comments.
