Summer Smash Hits: Yeat & Don Toliver Unveil New Tracks Live

Experience the energy as Yeat and Don Toliver debut fresh songs at the Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash festival in Chicago.

A Sky-High Start to a Groundbreaking Set

Imagine this: stunt doubles parachuting from a plane right behind the stage, setting an electrifying vibe even before the music kicks off. That’s exactly how Yeat and Don Toliver made their grand entrance at the Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash festival near Chicago on June 20th.

Their first live set as a duo was nothing short of spectacular. The two rappers switched seamlessly between solo performances and joint numbers, mixing fan favorites from their past projects with exciting new sounds. The crowd was on fire from start to finish!

New Collaborative Tracks Light Up the Stage

Before the festival, Yeat and Don Toliver had only dropped two songs together. But fans got a surprise treat: at least two brand-new tracks, believed to be called “SËCRET” and “SCRËWED UP.”

These new songs brought a fresh, upbeat vibe—more claps, bounces, and even some EDM-inspired production—reflecting Yeat’s earlier adventurous turn at Coachella, where he rapped over remixed versions of his hits. Don Toliver stepped up his game by singing more than usual, delivering a smooth and captivating performance.

The energy was infectious, blending the best of both artists’ styles into something truly unique.

An Epic Swap and Nostalgic Throwbacks

In one of the night’s highlights, Don Toliver rapped his hit “No Idea” over Yeat’s instrumental track “Out the Way.” Then, switching roles, Yeat took on one of Toliver’s beats in return—a clever nod to their growing chemistry.

Toliver also teased fans with hints of a second JackBoys album by performing “WHAT DO DO” and “GANG GANG,” two favorites from the Travis Scott-led collective. He even covered Scott’s “CAN’T SAY,” adding a personal touch to the set.

This collaborative spirit kept the crowd guessing and hungry for more.

Surprise Guests and Festival Highlights

The show was sprinkled with standout moments:

• Metro Boomin’s atmospheric “Too Many Nights” energized the crowd.
• Internet Money’s catchy “Lemonade” got everyone singing along.
• Yeat invited SahBabii onstage for a lively rendition of “Viking.”

Although there’s no official word yet on an upcoming album from Yeat and Toliver, last night’s set proved their creative partnership has serious potential.

Rising Stars Steal the Spotlight

Day one of the festival also introduced some exciting new talent:

• Rapper Benji Blue Bills made his Summer Smash debut at the ECCO stage.
• SoundCloud artist Che performed brand-new songs like “Die Young,” “HELLRAISER,” and closed his set with “Lemon Glow.”
• Nettspend, who performed in a tent last year, moved up to the main stage and premiered new tracks “Against Me” and “Just Listen” from his upcoming album Early Life Crisis.

Trippie Redd’s Wild Stage Moments

Even with his pants nearly falling off multiple times, Trippie Redd brought the heat. He teamed up with BloodHound Q50 for “Triple 3” and “Don’t Blink or Stare,” plus delivered a heartfelt cover of the late XXXTENTACION’s “Fuck Love.”

A Mixed Bag for Weiland’s Set

With so many styles on display, not every performance hit the mark. Weiland’s shift from rap to a more indie pop sound in his latest EP You Can’t Climb the Mountain in N.Y. left some festival-goers a bit puzzled and restless.

Still, Weiland remains focused on evolving his style, blending his roots with fresh influences:

“With the album I’m working on now, I’m still evolving my style and getting better always, but I want to merge it with my old shit,” he shared. “I want to incorporate other people from the underground and that type of sound.”

What’s Next at Summer Smash?

The festival continues to bring unstoppable energy with upcoming performances by Future, Lil Tecca, Destroy Lonely, and Sexyy Red.
