Lil Boat is the debut mixtape by Atlanta-based rapper and singer Lil Yachty. It was released on March 9, 2016, by Quality Control Music, Capitol Records and Motown. The mixtape features guest appearances from Young Thug, Skippa Da Flippa, Quavo, Big Brutha Chubba, Byou, and Burberry Perry.

Cover

The cover was designed by Mihailo Andic and uses stock images and images obtained from Tumblr.[2]

Critical reception

In a positive review, Nick Henderson of Tiny Mix Tapes wrote that "Lil Boat is the kind of music that does not need to make a case for its own value, only judged on the intangible, absurdist metrics of its self-contained universe."[3] Sheldon Pearce from Pitchfork gave it a rating of 4.8, citing that the mixtape "makes a grating mess of varying influences."[4]

Commercial performance

Lil Boat were downloaded over 381,000 times on Spinrilla, over 111,000 times on Spotify (along with 581,000 streams), and at least 1,000,000 listen to nearly of all 14 tracks from that mixtape on SoundCloud, including over 47 million plays on his commercially successful single, "One Night".
