Yeat’s seven-track EP secures another Billboard 200 appearance after earning 14k opening-week units.

Yeat has officially brought COCOON onto the Billboard 200.

The seven-track EP debuts at No. 88 on this week’s chart after earning approximately 14,000 equivalent album units during its opening week. The final total lands slightly below the early projection of 16,000 units but still gives Yeat another appearance on the Billboard 200.

COCOON arrived while Yeat was traveling for his LOVE/LYFE Tour. He initially described the release as a five-song pack created on the road before expanding it to seven tracks. Apparently, Yeat entered the cocoon with five songs and emerged carrying two more.

The project’s biggest surprise was “MISS MY DAWG,” featuring Drake. Fans previously heard portions of the collaboration during Drake’s Fear of Missing Out broadcasts, and its official release marked another linkup between the two rappers following “IDGAF” and “As We Speak.”

Elsewhere, COCOON gives Yeat room to experiment with futuristic production, distorted vocals, strange effects, and several different deliveries. The EP also includes “EARNËD IT” and its title track, allowing him to jump between direct rapping and off-kilter singing.

A No. 88 debut with 14,000 units is not one of Yeat’s largest commercial openings, especially considering Drake’s involvement. However, COCOON was presented as a compact project assembled during a tour rather than a heavily promoted studio album.

Let’s normalize releasing music just for the hell of it.
