Lil Yachty is rising up the ranks and now, as he tells it, everyone wants to be like him. In his new video for "Wanna Be Us," Lil Boat and Burberry Perry are on top of the world as they rap about their envious lifestyles. Dabbing and talking with their hands for the camera, Yachty and Perry form a new school one-two punch.

Boat spoke to XXL about his big break and credits social media and Chief Keef for his status. "'1night,' I made it last year, last summer. I don’t know if it been out but I been made it. It just popped off. This kid made like a parody video online and that shit just popped off. It’s crazy because when he first posted it I didn’t think it was going to pop off. He posted it on Tumblr. I need somebody to post the video on Twitter, my photographer did it and it started to take off. A hundred retweets, five hundred retweets, a thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand, hundred thousand, then it started going to other Twitters then Worldstar, then Facebook. A million retweets, a million likes, a million hits, and then Chief Keef posted it, it went everywhere."

Yachty appears to be ready to rollout a slew of visuals and a behind the scenes clip of the rapper and his crew dancing in front of a green screen popped up on Twitter earlier this week. Along with the clips, the rapper is supposed to be dropping Lil Boat and The Goat, his collab mixtape with Rich the Kid, soon.
