Lil Uzi Vert’s New Album ‘The Pink Tape’ Is Dropping Soon: Watch the Trailer
Lil Uzi Vert‘s long-awaited album The Pink Tape is coming sooner than you think. On Monday (June 26), the Generation Now artist announced that their third album would arrive this Friday (June 30), after unveiling the artwork and trailer.
The artwork is semi-patriotic as Uzi stands before a U.S. flag draped in pink versus the traditional red, white, and blue. Uzi’s signature spiked hair also appears as they don a jacket matching the flag. As for the trailer, it’s an animated clip helmed by Gibson Hazard.

The amine-style visual finds Uzi in combat with a demon creature who initially bests them in their contentious showdown. The creature rips off Uzi’s pink diamond from their forehead and steals their powers. Upon having their diamond pulled out, Uzi reverts to human form, and is transported to a mysterious world. Seeking vengeance, Uzi races to retrieve the diamond and ends up in more action-packed battles. Proving to be the ultimate samurai, Uzi wins their early bouts before entering a rematch with the demon creature for their diamond. This time, Uzi is sharper and evades any attacks issued against them and retrieves their prized possession.
The Pink Tape is the follow-up to their 2020 album Eternal Atake, with which they dodged the sophomore slump when they netted their second Billboard 200 No. 1 album with EA. The celebrated project sold 288,000 copies in its opening week, and had three songs debut in the Billboard Hot 100 top 10, led by “Baby Pluto” at No. 6.
