Album Release
Lil Uzi Vert’s second studio album Eternal Atake was released on March 6, 2020, after nearly three years of delays, label disputes, and fan anticipation. The wait made it one of the most hyped rap releases of the year.
Record-Breaking Debut
Eternal Atake debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 288,000 album-equivalent units. A week later, Uzi surprise-released the deluxe edition LUV vs. The World 2 with 14 additional tracks, making it a 32-song project that dominated streaming.
Chart Domination
The combined album placed 21 tracks on the Hot 100 simultaneously, breaking Drake’s record. Songs like “Futsal Shuffle 2020,” “That Way,” and “P2” (sequel to “XO TOUR Llif3”) became hits.
Space/Anime Theme
The album’s concept featured Heaven’s Gate cult aesthetics, alien imagery, and anime references. The three-act structure (“Baby Pluto,” “Renji,” “Uzi”) represented different personas, with each section having distinct sounds.
Fan Service
After years of leaks and snippets, Uzi included fan-requested tracks on the deluxe, including numerous collaborations with producer Working on Dying. The album rewarded patient fans while attracting new listeners.
