Lil Yachty has released 17 albums. To name a few “Lil Boat”, “Teenage Emotions” and “Michigan Boy Boat”. Naming His album “Lil Boat” was a celebration of Lil Yachty arriving on the scene. Lil Yachty hit it big in such a short period of time in his career and nothing could stop him now.
On November 5th, 2023 “The Field Trip Tour” came to Detroit, Michigan at The Filmore Detroit. I entered the building, and it was already completely crowded. As I walked to the front of the venue people were waiting for Lil Yachty to take the stage. The DJ was playing All-hit songs to keep the crowd hyped. Then all of the music stopped and the lights went out. You saw the band taking the stage, which was all female, mad Love to Lil Yachty for having an all-women band to show they’re just as good as men and they lit that stage of fire. “Lil Yachty” performed songs like “Yae Energy”, “Flex Up”, “The Secret Recipe”, “One Night”, and “Concrete Goonies” and more etc… he took a little break and the band played one of my old time tv show songs by Phil Collins “ In The Air Tonight”. I lost it, I couldn’t believe it. Well I done Lil Yachty GREAT SHOW. Thanks to Live Nation for letting me review the show.
