![]() ‘ feels definitive for millennials in the same way that “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” another song fusing precision, vitality, and raggedness, felt for Generation X.’ – Vulture Lifted from his 16-track debut album Luv Is Rage 2 (out now through Atlantic), the track has amassed over 1.3 billion streams worldwide, and seen him take to the stage with Ed Sheeran to perform a mashup of ‘Shape of You’ and ‘XO Tour Llif3’ at this year’s MTV VMA’s. Illusive Presents and Frontier Touring are extremely excited to announce the first ever Australian and New Zealand tour for rap phenomenon Lil Uzi Vert, stopping off in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane this February.ĭubbed ‘King of the kids’ by Zane Lowe on Beats 1, Uzi nabbed an MTV Video Music Award for his mammoth single, ‘XO Tour Llife3’. Least Favorite Tracks: I Can Show You, Come This Way.Heading to Australia & New Zealand for the very first time this February! The album gets a 9/10 from me.įavorite Tracks: Myron, Bean (Kobe), Yessirskiii, Wassup, Strawberry Peels, Trap This Way (This Way), Money Spread, Leaders I’ve listened to the album at least 20 times by now and it’s only been two weeks. My overall thought is that this collection of songs is something special with the amount of talent shown inside them. Getting a featured artist on your album is probably easier said than done, and I’m likely just fan-boying over this flaw. I personally would’ve loved to see a features from Playboi Carti or Lil Tracy somewhere on either of the two projects, as both artists have worked with Uzi before, but I am still pleased with the features that were available. I find this to be one of, if not my favorite Uzi pieces yet. Lil Uzi Vert delivered yet again with a stellar project to add to this “Eternal Atake” era. Be careful looking closer into lyrics, sometimes they can be quite haunting. NAV refers to Jim Jones (Jonestown), and Uzi to Marshall Applewhite (Heaven’s Gate). An eery aspect to the song is they both refer to their success in their respective careers to cult leaders, hence the name. Nav controlled most of the song with the hook and a verse. aqK3Pu0Ngn- Lo Mein™️?☄️? March 16, 2020Ī great song to end the album was ‘Leaders’ featuring NAV. I wouldn’t skip it, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to put the track on. ![]() The verses don’t seem to offer much either. This seems to be a fan favorite, but the hook just seems a bit boring to me. Young Nudy has one of the funniest verses I have heard in a hot minute as well (which isn’t always a bad thing, people will be quick to call it “trash” but I see it has just having fun).Ī song I found somewhat dry is “Come This Way”. I personally think Uzi showcases one of his best hooks yet on this song, and you’ll like it if you appreciate a more rugged style of rap. Bourne kills yet another beat on ‘Money Spread’ which features Young Nudy. ![]() I just think the flow Uzi uses is intensely catchy and has been a song I’ve been waiting for awhile now. This was another song that Uzi previewed on his instagram in 2018. Possibly my favorite song on the album is ‘Trap This Way (This Way)”. The second half of the project was just as strong as the first. There is this repeating synth sound beneath the jagged drum pattern that Bourne does yet another excellent job on. ![]() I personally really enjoyed 21 Savage’s hook and verses on ‘Yessirskiii’, which might’ve been expensive for Uzi as 21 mentions he wants “10 times 10 for a verse”. Lotus’, ‘Wassup’ and ‘Strawberry Peels’ are some more tracks that highlight the first half of the album. LUV VS THE WORLD 2 ANIMATED COVER /G88w0avsnO- Griffin March 13, 2020Ī fan-made animated cover video for LUV vs. Some fans were curious what happened to the two songs that Uzi teased with A Boogie and Lil Baby, but Uzi cleared that up on twitter noting he had “different plans” for those songs. The guest spots on the “deluxe” consist of Chief Keef, 21 Savage, Young Thug, Gunna, Lil Durk, Young Nudy, and NAV. The World 2 is a 14 track album with multiple features, which was something that Eternal Atake lacked with its lone feature of Syd. As Eternal Atake was able to sell 228,000 units in its first week, Uzi is now sitting with 22 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 as of Mar. In classic Uzi style, he was able to raise the bar with the deluxe version of Eternal Atake and release it as a second album. 13, the sequel to his 2016 mixtape that featured hits like ‘Money Longer’ and ‘You Was Right’.
