The beats remain somewhat generic throughout, only half-exploring the space theme that Uzi set up. The lyrics generally deal with expensive watches, Glocks, and fast cars. Stylistically, Eternal Atake takes the same approach as any other Uzi album.
That being said, it may have been my fault when I reached the end of the album thoroughly disappointed. With the release of a 5 minute album trailer preceding the album’s release, a creative, well-shot video in which Uzi is abducted by aliens and taken to space, I had high hopes for Eternal Atake as a genre-defining concept trap album. But with this release, I expected something fresh from the Philadelphia rapper. It is clear that Uzi has the trap formula down. The Don Cannon-produced beats served as a perfect backdrop to a slew of infectious Uzi hooks. The World” perhaps is the best example of “peak Uzi”. Uzi’s work has, in the past, been fueled by his undeniable talent for creating catchy melodies, his unique rockstar aesthetic, and his synth driven production. Fellow “Lil” rappers Lil Yachty and Lil Pump have both seen steep career declines after releases of their respective panned sophomore albums ( Teenage Emotions and Harverd Dropout). Birthed fr om the 2016 “mumble rap” explosion, Uzi has had some of the strongest staying power of any of his contemporaries. Throughout all of his albums, Uzi has constantly delivered his own brand of melodic trap music. Lil Uzi Vert’s work, in my eyes, has been defined by consistency. The surprise release only further blew up Twitter, as “ Eternal Atake ” remained trending all day. However, a week before the announced release date, Uzi released the album on all streaming services. With 19 months of anticipation built up, the Twitter world exploded as Uzi began to tease the album, setting a release date of March 13th. For months, fans pleaded with Uzi for the album’s release. The hype behind Eternal Atake was somewhat of a cultural phenomenon. I guess you could say this album has had some anticipation. Released 5 singles (one of which was promptly removed from all streaming services).
