Lil Uzi Vert Reveals What It’s Going To Take For Second Album Drop

by

Lil Uzi Vert should be basking in the spotlight of their latest album, The Pink Tape. However, the man is still hungry for recognition, as well as for dropping more music. On July 4th, Lil Uzi posted to their Instagram story a picture of the album cover with the caption, “Get this [to] number one… And I will drop [the] album [y’all] really looking for.” He completes the story with two shushing emojis, referring to the top-secret nature of this mysterious second album.

It’s clear Lil Uzi Vert thinks that, while The Pink Tape is a solid collection of songs, there’s a separate tracklist that hits even harder. They’re saving that second drop for a rainy day or, in this case, for when Pink goes number one. When they says that, they mean going number one on the Billboard 200. To top the charts with their entire album would be quite an accomplishment. With so much new music dropping in 2023, it’s difficult to own a top spot on the Billboard chart.

Lil Uzi is currently performing songs from this most recent album, but they want to give people even more music. From a live stream, Vert confirmed they wouldn’t release a deluxe version of The Pink Tape, instead opting for a complete second album. Whether it’s a sequel or response to Pink is unclear, but the project seems almost ready to drop. There’s only one thing for fans to do, and that’s make sure Lil Uzi tops the charts. Honestly, it’s fantastic marketing.

In other Lil Uzi news, it might happen that The Pink Tape hits number one all on its own. First-week sales projections have it ending the week at the top spot, with Young Thug falling short of taking the number one crown. For almost months, Morgan Whalen has been killing the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200. Perhaps it’s time for hip-hop to claim the throne. In the meantime, Lil Uzi Vert will be mobbing in their 1-of-1 Rolls Royce, living the good life with a best-selling album.

Lil Durk Posts Mystery Woman On IG, Says He’s Got To Drop Before Lil Uzi Vert

Lil Durk is setting a challenge for himself a week before his next album Almost Healed drops on May 12. However, he also took the chance to tease fans’ curiosity in the process, specifically in regards to his romantic life. Moreover, the Chicago rapper took to Instagram to share some pictures on his jewelry and a picture with a mystery woman. All we can see of her are her hands as she takes a mirror picture with Durk holding her. In the post’s caption, he even shouted out Lil Uzi Vert and hinted that they’ll be dropping very soon, too.

“I gotta hurry up and drop before uzi fxckkkkkkkkkkkk hold on I’m almost healed,” Lil Durk wrote in his post’s caption. As such, a lot of Uzi fans are probably feeling quite excited themselves, as this might mean that they’re dropping something next week, too. Still, it might just be the “AHHH HA” MC fanning the flames of speculation and hype around Uzi’s next move. For what reason, we don’t know yet, but Durkio’s always been one to talk about his peers in the game.

Lil Durk Teases Lil Uzi Vert Drop- And A Potential New Flame

Despite that precedent, he recently kept his mouth sealed when answering a question about his rumored reconciliation with NBA YoungBoy. “What beef? Who?” he replied to a reporter who caught him on the street and asked about the beef. While that squashing saw no legitimate confirmation from either artist, at least Lil Durk liked a post on Twitter talking about the beef ending. Such news came from DJ Akademiks and came with a grain of salt for many online. Regardless, hopefully such rumors are true and contribute to both their artistic journeys in meaningful ways.

Meanwhile, between wanting a SZA collab and tapping J. Cole for a collab and music video, it seems like Smurk is continuing that collaborative spirit. Fortunately, fans will hear how it manifests into Almost Healed very soon, yet that mystery woman still caught many’s eye. A lot of people think that it’s his ex India Royale, but others think that there’s something else going on. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest updates and news on Lil Durk.
