While Lil Yachty has released an abundance of music throughout his relatively young career, many of his fans cite his Lil Boat album series as his best work thus far. The first installment was somewhat of a breakout for the Atlanta rapper, who won hearts and minds with his unique style and breezy melodies. The second arrived a little later on down the line, and by that point Boat’s base were clamoring for more bars — and thus, Lil Boat 2 was born, arriving with a splash in 2018.

Now, Boat is looking to make his aquatic franchise a trilogy. At long last, the Quality Control artist has lifted the curtains on his climactic chapter, announcing that Lil Boat 3 will be arriving on May 29th, clocking in at a staggering nineteen songs. At such a gargantuan runtime, it’s set to be the longest of the trilogy so far — though those expecting a more concise voyage might be left wanting as a result. Still, it’s clear Yachty had a lot to say on this go-around, and it should be interesting to see which direction he pursues.
Given that we have yet to hear any music from the upcoming album, it’s unclear whether he’ll be following the melodic stylings of Boat 1 or the more rap-focused direction of Boat 2. In any case, Yachty has proven himself to be a solid captain — let us see where he takes us on May 29th. Are you excited for Lil Boat 3?
