Lil Yachty and his collaborators in Detroit and Flint, Michigan, will release “Michigan Boy Boat,” a mixtape featuring the Atlanta rapper and a crop of Midwest MCs.

Earlier this year, Lil Yachty released “Royal Rumble,” featuring six rappers from the Michigan hip-hop scene – Krispylife, RMC Mike, Babyface Ray, Rio Da Yung OG and Icewear Vezzo. The new EP, due April 23, is both an alliance with and a tribute to the state’s burgeoning underground rap scene.
