Lil Uzi Vert is back with a new album, this time titled Eternal Atake 2, and with it a feature from Big Time Rush. Read our Eternal Atake 2 review.
Best known for their unique voice, Lil Uzi Vert is a pioneer of the trap and psychedelic rap genres. They first broke through in the industry back in 2016 and have gone on to release three studio albums, Luv Is Rage 2, Eternal Atake, and Pink Tape. Now Uzi is back with a fourth studio album, titled Eternal Atake 2.
The move comes after a divisive reception on Pink Tape, and it seems Uzi is back to regain some of that old flame with this new release. Featuring on the album is Big Time Rush, a boy band that first blew up in their own Nickelodeon series. It’s an interesting move to me as it’s the only feature on the album, and it’s a feature that’d traditionally be seen as weird by many critics in the industry.
I’m personally indifferent to the inclusion, it works for the song and nothing more, but doesn’t actively make me feel any major feeling outside of the sheer humour of having such a feature on the record. Find the tracklist below:
- “We Good”
- “Light Year (Practice)”
- “Meteor Man”
- “Paars In The Mars”
- “The Rush” ft. Big Time Rush
- “Not An Option”
- “She Stank”
- “Mr Chow”
- “Lyft Em Up”
- “Chips and Dip”
- “Black Hole”
- “Chill Bae”
- “Goddard Song”
- “PerkySex”
- “Conceited”
- “Space High”
The space/abduction/Matrix theme of the album works pretty well and is an interesting aesthetic for the album to chase. Lil Uzi Vert, whose real name is Symere Bysil Woods, performs to expectations here, which is to say great. Their performance here is eclectic but also vivid, with their defining style doing wonders for the lyricism of the album. It’s evidently far better than some of the track titles on the album, which is quite humorous in nature, whether intentionally or not.
The production of the album is captivating and would make for great listening in the gym. Its forceful beats work together and create an energised mood ripe for any self-respecting gym member. I particularly love the production on the track “Paars In The Mars” and the opening track “We Good”.
All in all, Eternal Atake 2 serves as a good return to form for Lil Uzi Vert and definitely will be something fans of the artist will love. From its hype production to the invigorating raps and lyricism from Uzi, there is a lot to like about this one.
Eternal Atake 2 is performed by Lil Uzi Vert and largely produced by Cashmere Cat and Brandon Finessin. The album was released through Generation Now and Atlantic Records and is now streaming on all major music streaming platforms. Listen to it below on Spotify:
Uzi will next appear in a stream with Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, which begins at 6 PM EST on November 1st.
