Lil Uzi Vert teases "Eternal Atake 2" with alien abduction theme

The anticipation for new music from a favourite artist can be compared to the time just before Christmas Eve when everything is ready, but the presents are still hidden somewhere out of sight. While it's known that something is or will be somewhere, uncertainty still blends with curiosity and excitement. Will the Christmas presents meet expectations? Will the next album match the previous one?

Lil Uzi Vert is known for his original music and unusual ideas. The rapper is considered one of the pioneers of the so-called Soundcloud era. In 2021, the artist implanted a diamond in his forehead, valued at around $24 million. Besides spending money in peculiar ways, Vert has several mixtapes, collaborative albums, and three solo studio albums to his name: "Luv is Rage 2," "Eternal Atake," and "Pink Tape." However, this list might soon change.

On October 24, 2024, a video announcing the artist's upcoming album appeared on Lil Uzi Vert's Instagram. Previously, the rapper removed or hid all previously published photos and videos, leaving only promotional materials for "Eternal Atake 2." The video stated: "On March 6, 2020, Lil Uzi Vert disappeared in a mysterious way. Although it was never confirmed what happened that day, believers claimed it fulfilled a long-awaited prophecy."

In the video, Lil Uzi Vert is presented as a man abducted by aliens. That world is much more technologically advanced than the Earth we know, and the artist himself is said to undergo tests and experiments that will change his memory. At the end, there's a declaration that "Eternal Atake 2" will soon see the light of day.

The information about Lil Uzi Vert's new album's upcoming release thrilled the artist's fans. Many people hope for a repeat of the success of "Eternal Atake." Others call for the return of quality in the rapper's previous albums, suggesting that "Pink Tape" did not meet their expectations.
