Eternal Atake
Eternal Atake is the second studio album by the American rapper and singer Lil Uzi Vert. It was released through Generation Now and Atlantic Records on March 6, 2020. The album features a sole guest appearance from American singer Syd. The production was handled by Bobby Raps, Brandon Finessin, Bugz Ronin, Chief Keef, Oogie Mane, TM88, Wheezy, and others. It is their first project since their debut studio album, Luv Is Rage 2 (2017). The album was supported by the singles "Futsal Shuffle 2020" and "That Way", which later appeared as the album's bonus tracks.
A week later, on March 13, the deluxe version of the album, titled Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2 was released as a surprise album. The album served as a sequel to their third mixtape, Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World (2016), which was released four years earlier. The album features new guest appearances from American rappers Chief Keef, 21 Savage, Future, Young Thug, Gunna, Lil Durk, Young Nudy, and Nav. Eternal Atake received widespread acclaim from critics, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200, earning 288,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. The album earned 400 million US streams in its first week, which was the fourth-largest streaming debut at the time of its release.
In July 2018, Lil Uzi Vert published two messages to Twitter, "Eternal Atake" and "Eternal means forever. Atake means 2 overtake", that were described as cryptic. On July 31, 2018, which was also Lil Uzi's 24th birthday, they removed all posts from their Instagram profile except for two—a snippet of "New Patek" and the old cover art of Eternal Atake. On December 9, Lil Uzi confirmed that Eternal Atake had been finished and was set for release.
On January 11, 2019, Lil Uzi announced via Instagram that they had "deleted everything" and were "done with music", although many believed this could merely have been a publicity stunt and/or a promotional roll-out for the album. On March 3, 2020, Lil Uzi revealed a new album cover on Twitter, after allowing fans to vote on the new cover.
Eternal Atake marks a significant evolution in Lil Uzi Vert's sound, building on the melodic trap and emo rap foundations of their earlier works, Luv Is Rage (2015) and Luv Is Rage 2 (2017), while venturing into a more ambitious, futuristic, and conceptually driven sonic landscape. Spanning 18 tracks over an hour, the album fuses pop-trap sensibilities with sci-fi-inspired production, characterized by glitchy synths, booming 808s, and video game-esque sound effects. AllMusic highlights its "meticulous production and amplified energy", crediting the Philly-based production collective Working on Dying, alongside producers like Brandon Finessin, Bugz Ronin, Oogie Mane, and Supah Mario, for crafting beats that evoke a space opera aesthetic. Tracks like "Homecoming" feature distorted percussion and synthesized horns, while "You Better Move" incorporates laser sound effects and samples from "Space Cadet 3D Pinball", creating a vivid, intergalactic atmosphere.
The album is loosely structured around a sci-fi narrative of alien abductions and space travel, reflected in skits and Uzi's alter egos—Baby Pluto, Renji, and Uzi themselves—though the concept is secondary to the music's vibe. Rolling Stone describes the album as divided into three six-song sides, each tied to a persona: Baby Pluto's aggressive flexes, Renji's vulnerable introspection, and Uzi's cosmic reflections. This structure allows for dynamic shifts in tone, from the frenetic braggadocio of "Pop" and "Lo Mein" to the melancholic "I'm Sorry" and "Chrome Heart Tags", the latter featuring a Chief Keef-produced beat with haunting vocal samples and Flockaveli-esque drums.
Uzi's vocal versatility is central to the album's appeal, seamlessly blending rapid-fire rapping, melodic crooning, and high-pitched ad-libs. Pitchfork praises Uzi's improved technical prowess, citing "Silly Watch" and "You Better Move" for their relentless pace and clever pop culture references, like Blue Eyes White Dragon and Microsoft Zune. Tracks like "Bigger Than Life" and "Celebration Station" showcase Uzi's ability to craft infectious hooks, with the former balancing a smooth yet frenzied refrain and the latter featuring playful lyricism ("And I can't do my dance 'cause my pants, they from France"). The Backstreet Boys interpolation on "That Way" transforms a pop classic into a trap banger, highlighting Uzi's knack for reimagining familiar sounds.
Lyrically, Uzi remains focused on familiar themes: wealth, designer brands, cars, women, and heartbreak, but with richer detail and sharper wit. Consequence highlights Uzi's humor, such as the quip about a Honda Accord on "Baby Pluto". Emotional depth surfaces in tracks like "I'm Sorry" and "Urgency" (featuring Syd), where Uzi grapples with fame and failed relationships, though Consequence highlights the deluxe edition Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2 for lacking similar candor. The album's only guest appearance, Syd on "Urgency", adds a soulful contrast to Uzi's chaotic energy.
