Lil Uzi Vert’s upcoming album, “Eternal Atake 2,” has sparked buzz after the rapper teased a track seemingly aimed at radio host Ebro Darden.
In a now-deleted Instagram Story, the Philadelphia-based artist shared a photo of a handwritten tracklist for “Eternal Atake 2”. The list was largely obscured, save for one title: “Chill Ebro.” This intriguing reveal follows Ebro Darden’s recent critique of Uzi’s career.
Hot 97’s Ebro Darden expressed his views on Uzi’s career trajectory during a panel discussion. He pointed out that the rapper has yet to fulfill his rockstar promise made nearly a decade ago. “I love Uzi Vert,” Ebro stated, “but he hasn’t become the rockstar he promised to be. I’m still waiting.”
Ebro further elaborated, referencing a 2016 interview where Uzi refused to perform over “old Hip Hop beats,” considering them unsuitable for a rockstar image. Ebro challenged Uzi, “Where you at, my guy? Where you at, bro? You supposed to be a rockstar. What happened?”
Despite the unclear status of “Chill Ebro” as an actual track on the album, Lil Uzi Vert has been building anticipation for “Eternal Atake 2”. The rapper recently unveiled the sci-fi-themed cover art and an engaging trailer for the album. The cinematic trailer narrates that Uzi mysteriously vanished on March 6, 2020, suggesting a fulfillment of a prophecy, and depicts Uzi encountering aliens with purple eyes.
Slated for release this Friday, “Eternal Atake 2” promises to blend sci-fi elements with Uzi’s unique style. Anticipation among fans is high as they await his musical response to Ebro’s comments.
With his new album around the corner, Lil Uzi Vert seems ready to address critics head-on. Whether “Chill Ebro” makes the final cut or not, the rapper’s response to Ebro’s challenge is closely watched by fans and industry insiders alike.
