Lil Uzi Vert's The Pink Tape is easily one of 2023's most anticipated and hyped projects not just in hip-hop, but across all genres. That speaks to the reach, acclaim, and success that the Philly native achieved across their stellar career, a status that they're clearly well-aware of. Moreover, over the past few weeks or so, there's been no shortage of snippets, teases, and full song previews on the rapper's social media pages. Particularly on Instagram Live, they shared a lot of as-of-yet unreleased music, whose catalog just got a new entry recently. Hopefully Uzi isn't capping with the claim that their next album will release later this month.
As for the snippet itself, it's honestly what you'd expect from the "Watch This" MC, but it doesn't make it any less fire. There are some powerful and deep bass hits all over the track that really ground it and give it a grimy feel. Of course, there are the trademark Lil Uzi Vert synths present throughout, that do an equally good job of providing both melody and atmosphere. As far as Uzi's performance, there's a repetitious chorus and the usual cycled flows, but also plenty of breaks and switch-ups. In addition, no one can rap fast quite like they can, with rapid-fire lines zooming by without messing up their vocal cadence or style too much.
Lil Uzi Vert's Latest Pink Tape Teaser Track
In other Pink Tape-related news, many fans wondered what features, if any, would appear, since Eternal Atake had just one, that being Syd of The Internet fame. However, according to DJ Akademiks and seemingly confirmed by acclaimed producer BNYX, Lil Uzi Vert's next full-length will feature none other than Houston's own Travis Scott. While La Flame has his own anticipated-to-death album to worry about in UTOPIA, such a link-up is likely to cause fireworks. The two have only officially collaborated once before on the track "Watch" featuring Kanye West.
Meanwhile, the 27-year-old is making sure that The Pink Tape stays safe and sound by carrying it around in a USB around his neck. Even though it may seem more like a promo move than anything, we're all way too familiar with leaks and hackers ruining the fun for artists these days. All we can hope for is that Uzi plugs that drive in soon and graces us with more bangers like the ones they've teased so far. On that note, for the latest on Lil Uzi Vert, stay posted on HNHH.
