“I was probably the popularest kind on campus, but in the worst way,” Lil Yachty says partway through Keep Sailing, a new film directed by Petra Collins and produced by The FADER.
“I was a laughingstock. I was a joke because of my hair. Being in college really let me know I don’t want to live a regular life. I want to be rich, I want to be a celebrity, I want to be famous. I want to have this hair and people don’t laugh, they get excited.”
Filmed in the Atlanta suburbs, this 14-minute film chronicles his rise through the eyes of his mother, his uncle Darnell Boat, his go-to producers Burberry Perry and Earl, and all his good friends in the Sailing Team.
