Lil Uzi Vert is set to release a brand new album titled “Pink Tape” this week, serving as a follow-up to their 2020 release, “Eternal Atake.” The album boasts a total of 26 tracks and is scheduled to drop on Friday, June 30, via Atlantic Records. The album artwork and a trailer, directed by Gibson Hazard, have been unveiled, offering fans a glimpse into what to expect.
Since the release of “Eternal Atake” and the accompanying expansion, “LUV vs. The World 2,” the Philadelphia rapper has undergone notable changes, including a shift in pronouns. Additionally, Uzi has treated fans to an EP called “Red & White” and has kept busy with numerous collaborations. In November of the previous year, Uzi released the first single from “Pink Tape” titled “Just Wanna Rock,” which they later performed on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in March.
Throughout 2021 and 2022, Uzi remained active, making over 20 appearances on tracks with artists such as Tyler, the Creator, Yeat, Baby Keem, Pusha T, and Gucci Mane, among others. More recently, the rapper joined forces with Future and Don Toliver on two songs featured in the Metro Boomin-produced soundtrack for the new film “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.”
Notably, in July 2021, Uzi’s ex-girlfriend, Brittany Byrd, accused them of assault and threats involving a firearm. In February, Uzi pleaded no contest to one count of felony assault with a firearm and one count of misdemeanor injury. Consequently, they received a sentence of three years of formal probation, along with domestic violence counseling, treatment for mental health and substance abuse for a year, restitution payments, and a 10-year criminal protective order.
Apart from their musical endeavors, Lil Uzi Vert gained attention in 2021 for getting a massive pink diamond implanted in their forehead. Valued at approximately $24 million, the gem was eventually removed after being accidentally torn out during a performance at Rolling Loud Miami in September. This incident is referenced in an animated sequence featured in the trailer for “Pink Tape,” and the album artwork also showcases Uzi with the diamond in their forehead.
