Singles

[edit]

The album's lead single, "Gët Busy", was released on September 1. Another song on the album, "U Could Tëll", was included in the second season of the HBO series Euphoria.[2][3] The instrumental for the song "Turban" was included in a collaborative commercial between Nike and Dick's Sporting Goods.[4]

AllMusic[5]
Pitchfork6.7/10[3]

In his Washington Post piece on Yeat, Chris Richards noted that Yeat "visits nearly every corner of his lungs, throat, mouth and sinuses on 'Turban'", and that "his approach still feels avant and inventive. Rhyming in alien purrs and phantasmal coos, it's as if he's melting into his beats".[6]

Pitchfork reviewer Alphonse Pierre claims that "Yeat's inspiration feels like it refreshingly goes beyond Whole Lotta Red" while giving the album a 6.7/10.[3] AllMusic stated that "It's funny, weird, and infectious, like the best of Up 2 Më. Uncommon production choices and Yeat's laid-back but surprisingly off-center personality make these tracks a breath of fresh air in a commercial rap landscape where artists and songs can sometimes feel interchangeable".[5]

Commercial performance

[edit]

Up 2 Me charted at No. 183 on the Billboard selling 5,000 album-equivalent units, four months after it was released.[7]

Notes

  • Any song title that contains the letter 'e' is replaced with 'ë'. For example, "U Could Tell" is stylized as "U Could Tëll". If a song contains two or more 'e's, then only the first one is replaced.
  • Only the first letter of each song title is capitalized (except "Gët Busy", "Ya Ya", "Twizzy Rich" and "Swërved It"). For example, "Monëy So Big" is stylized as "Monëy so big".
