Lil Uzi Vert’s ‘Eternal Atake 2’: All 16 Tracks Ranked
The intergalactic rap star is back with the sequel to 2020's Eternal Atake. Read Billboard's preliminary review and track ranking.
Outside of a cameo from Big Time Rush, Uzi handles Eternal Atake 2 entirely on their lonesome — and from introspective rap ballads (“Conceited”) to bass-busting headbangers (“Chips And Dip”), they flaunt their unique versatility across the set. With his cavalier delivery, his use of past tense in reference to NOS, and his repeated promises of “Mama, swear we good,” Eternal Atake 2’s opener showcases an Uzi who is eager to hit the reset button and spin the block on days less marred by controversy and questionable life choices.
