An obvious influence on Uzi’s discography, Chief Keef provides the woozy beat for “Chrome Heart Tags,” reminding that there are levels to Uzi’s artistry. He imbues the post-EDM aesthetic of “Celebration Station” and the video-game trap of “Silly Watch” alike with speedy, free-associative verses that run from gun talk to sexual exploits. Without relying on showy features-save for one memorable duet with Syd on the otherworldly “Urgency”-Uzi does more than most of those who’ve jacked his style in the interim. After being initially announced in 2018, the album was released on March 6, 2020. With the wait finally over, the patient listenership that made do with running back to 2017’s Luv Is Rage 2 again and again can take in his glittering opus. Eternal Atake is the second studio album by American rapper Lil Uzi Vert. For nearly two years, fans eagerly anticipated the release of Eternal Atake, a maddeningly delayed project whose legend grew while tragedy befell some of the Philadelphia native’s emo rap peers, including Lil Peep and XXXTENTACION. One of the most heralded hip-hop artists of his generation, Lil Uzi Vert built no small part of his well-deserved reputation off of the promise of a record nobody had heard.
