Lil Yachty will serve as the special musical guest for the April 1st episode of NBC’s Saturday Night Live next month. SNL shared the news on social media with its classic pinboard announcement, also announcing that Abbott Elementary creator Quinta Brunson will host the episode. The rapper also reposted the announcement to his Instagram.

Yachty’s fifth studio LP, Let’s Start Here, was released in January via Motown Records and Quality Control Music. The album represented a marked shift in the artist’s musical style, leaning away from typical rap into a unique psychedelic, pop-rock sound.
