Lil Yachty took over Saturday Night Live, this weekend, appearing two songs off of his new album, Let's Start Here. For performances of “the BLACK seminole.” and “pressure ME crazy!,” Yachty brought out Diana Gordon, who contributes vocals to the studio variations of both songs.

On stage, Yachty was once sponsored by way of an all-women band along with Gordon. Speaking with Zane Lowe of Apple Music 1 in January, he defined his reasoning for going with simply girls. “I just feel like ladies don’t get as a lot recognize as males relating to the song trade,” Yachty mentioned on the time. “So I used to be like, ‘These songs are beautiful badass, and I need to display women playing them.”

With his latest album, Yachty ventures away from his conventional rap genre and ventures for a valid extra heavily influenced via psychedelic rock. Speaking in regards to the determination to head in that route, Yachty up to now stated: “I feel I created it just because I actually sought after to be taken serious as an artist, you realize. Not only a few SoundCloud rapper, no longer some mumble rapper. Not some guy that just made one hit. I sought after to be in point of fact taken serious because music is, like, the entirety to me. I appreciate all walks of music, no longer just rap and hip-hop, the whole thing. So I think I wanted to make one thing to turn the arena simply how nice it used to be to me.”

Elsewhere within the episode of Saturday Night Live, Quinta Brunson served as the host. During her opening monologue, the Abbott Elementary superstar promoted her display via taking a jab at Friends. “It’s a community sitcom like, say, Friends. Except, as a substitute of being about a team of buddies, it’s a few team of academics. Instead of New York, it’s in Philadelphia and instead of not having Black other folks, it does," she joked. The show also tackled Donald Trump's recent indictment, featured an April Fools prank from Michael Che, and much more.
