Lil Yachty really showed up on the scene with his release of Lil Boat in 2016. It propelled him to stardom and put out a few other projects within that time.
He told his fans on February 20th that his squeal to this record is entitled Lil Boat 2 and it is to be released on March 9th, 2018.
He also released the cover art which shows him in the water during the sunset, looking pretty fine.

The shot was done by Mihailo Andic and he certainly had an eye for creativity. I like the contrast of this shot from Lil Boat.
Here is the Lil Boat cover art:

The Lil Boat cover art shows a picture of a man sailing away on a small boat, while in Lil Boat 2′s cover art it shows him in the water fully embracing it. It seems like he doesn’t need a boat anymore when he is not afraid to sink. I feel like this is foreshadowing the content that is going to be on the album and I’m excited. He may be playing with a lot more darker themes.
In this album, he hinted at having collaborations with Glacier Boyz, Gucci Mane, and Migos. Based on the features and the cover art, I think this is going to be one of his best works.
Mark your calenders for March 9th!
