Popular American rapper and record producer Yeat sat with Complex magazine for an exclusive interview. Yeat spoke about his recently released Extended Play, Dangerous Summer, in the exclusive cover story.

The musician also spoke about his relationship with pop icon Justin Bieber. According to the rapper, he and the Never Say Never crooner have a cool relationship.

“It's good. We'll link sometimes and make some music. We're cool. We'll work on sh*t and hang out. Sometimes I'll go to his crib, have dinner and sh*t.”

He added:

“We were kicking it at Coachella. He's good people. I like talking to him about music, too, and getting feedback.”

Justin Bieber was spotted at Yeat’s recent Coachella performance. He added that Bieber joined him for his first-ever Coachella after-party.

“Yeah, the first one in history. Me and Bieber. It was a great night. We were really turnt.”

More details on Yeat’s Complex Magazine interview

Dangerous Summer was released on August 1, 2025, and is Yeat’s seventh EP. He told Complex Magazine that he personally did a lot of work on the album, including mixing, mastering, and producing.

“This new era is more polished and meticulous. I'm really dialing in the world and the sounds. I'm still doing everything myself—I'm still mixing, mastering, and producing, and every little echo and thing you hear in the song will always be me—but I'm a lot more open to making records better."

He added that he was more particular about the production of Dangerous Summer, working on it repeatedly until he found the perfect balance.

“I thought going back in on it was weird. So now I'm actually going back in on the records, instead of just one-taking it and just dropping it, which is fire, but now I'm being more particular about what I'm doing.”

He added:

“The music's evolving with me. As I'm getting older, the music is growing with me. The fans are getting older and growing with me, too. Everything's growing. The newer sh*t's more evolved, more polished, and more clean.”
