Lil Yachty “means seriousness” for 2017. The Atlanta rapper has become known for his signature ‘do since his introduction to the game about a year ago, sporting red hair that is braided with beads at the end. He’s switching it up to work on his debut album, however.

“See this right here? The James Brown look, you know?,” Lil Boat said while debuting a new look on Instagram Live last night. “I’m working on my album. This look means seriousness. This hair do means hits. And to Funkmaster Flex, this means a lot of mumble rap.”

Is he really taking a cut out of Jay Z and J. Cole’s book and actually going to stick to not getting his hair done while he’s in album mode, or is he trolling? (As Yachty is known to do!) I guess we’ll find out soon enough! Check out the hairstyle below and let us know your thoughts.
