Lil Uzi Vert has made an official announcement about their highly anticipated new album, which serves as a follow-up to 2020’s “Eternal Atake.” The album is titled “Pink Tape,” which features 26 tracks, and is scheduled to be released this Friday, June 30, through Generation Now and Atlantic Records. The album artwork and a trailer directed by Gibson Hazard have been revealed, creating anticipation among fans.
In the time since “Eternal Atake” and its expansion “LUV vs. the World 2,” the Philadelphia rapper has been busy collaborating with various artists and engaging in their own projects. They joined forces with Future for “Pluto x Baby Pluto,” released an EP titled “Red & White,” and contributed to multiple tracks with artists like Tyler, the Creator, Yeat, Baby Keem, Pusha T, and Gucci Mane. Lil Uzi Vert also recently collaborated with Future and Don Toliver on two songs for the soundtrack of the newly released movie, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.”
In addition to their musical endeavors, Lil Uzi Vert has faced legal issues. In July 2021, they were accused by their ex-girlfriend, Brittany Byrd, of assault and firearm threats. Last February, Lil Uzi Vert pleaded no contest to one count of felony assault with a firearm and one count of misdemeanor injury. They received a three-year formal probation, 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling and treatment for mental health and substance abuse, along with other legal requirements such as restitution and a 10-year criminal protective order.
Apart from legal matters, Lil Uzi Vert gained attention in 2021 for having a massive pink diamond implanted in their forehead. The gem, reportedly worth $24 million, was later removed after being torn out during a performance at Rolling Loud Miami in September. This incident is referenced in the animated sequence of the album’s trailer, and the artwork for “Pink Tape” prominently displays the diamond on Lil Uzi Vert’s forehead.
