Lil Uzi Vert Previews New ‘Pink Tape’ Track, Promises Album Is ‘Weeks Away’
Lil Uzi Vert has once again given fans a sneak peak into the creative process behind their highly-anticipated forthcoming album The Pink Tape which will apparently be out real soon.
In an Instagram Story clip, the Philadelphia rapper donned all black while assuring fans that the new album is closer to being released than they might think.
“It’s the muthafuckin’ countdown,” Lil Uzi Vert says in the clip. “We weeks away. I’m telling ya’ll, I’ma come correct. I’ma come correct.”
They then asked someone to play a new track from the upcoming album which has that familiar cadence and chorus pattern that’s present on most of his hit records.

Uzi also teased that Playboi Carti might be on The Pink Tape, posting a picture of the popular artist covering up his face with a Balenciaga bag on their IG Stories.
Just last week, Uzi’s producer has confirmed that a Travis Scott feature will appear on The Pink Tape.
BNYX, who has previously produced for the likes of Yeat and Ty Dolla $ign, retweeted a recent livestream where DJ Akademiks spoke about the forthcoming feature. The Philly producer simply confirmed that the feature Akademiks was speaking about would be produced by him, tweeting: “prod by ____? #### [salute emoji].”
Fans under the tweet reacted with pure excitement, with one user saying: “This better be true,” while another one added: “Oh man this gonna be the one fasho.”
In addition, the “Just Wanna Rock” rapper took to IG Live recently where they played unreleased music for fans and provided a time frame for project’s release.
They also unveiled a unique chain featuring a flash drive in place of a pendant, which contains the sought-after files for their forthcoming third album.

“The Pink Tape, I keep it on a chain,” they said while holding up the flash drive and white-beaded chain. “It’s going to Elliot [Eliantte] tomorrow so he can put pink diamonds all on it. I keep it on a chain. This the whole Pink Tape right here, it’s on a chain.
“I ain’t been wearing no jewelry because this is more expensive than every chain that I got. This right here, this little thing right here. I wear it every day.”
Rocking their vintage purple dreads, the Generation Now rapper then doubled down on their promise that The Pink Tape will arrive at the end of June.
“The album is coming at the end of this month,” they declared. “I can’t hold off no more. Like, you know me, I’m crazy. Even if I have to drop it myself, it’s coming out at the end of the month.”
