Lil Uzi Vert has released their fourth full-length studio album, Eternal Atake 2 (out Nov. 1).

The Philadelphia rapper announced the release of their long-awaited record just one week prior (Oct. 24), sharing a mysterious teaser trailer to promote the album.

“On March 6, 2020, Lil Uzi Vert mysteriously vanished,” the screen reads. “While it was never confirmed what happened that day, the faithful believed it to be the fulfillment of a long-awaited prophecy… Eternal Atake.”

The March 2020 disappearance date refers to the release of Lil Uzi Vert’s second album, Eternal Atake. Much of the record’s artwork and promotion was in reference to the infamous Heaven’s Gate religious group, whose mass suicide made national headlines in 1997. Surviving members of the group initially threatened Lil Uzi Vert with legal action in 2018 over their appropriation of the Heaven’s Gate logo.

The promotion for Eternal Atake 2 once again sees Lil Uzi Vert leaning into Heaven’s Gate’s underlying beliefs of ufology and prophecy fulfillment, with the album trailer featuring the rapper being transported via UFO to another dimension. Upon arrival, their memory is extracted and wiped clean by a group of natives from this unknown planet, who are seemingly possessed with a purple-tinted gleam in their eyes.

Lil Uzi Vert had previously hinted towards retirement after the release of their next album, telling TMZ in December 2023 that following the release of Luv Is Rage 3, they would step away from music to focus on making women’s clothes.

Currently, Luv Is Rage 3 has been given no release date, with Eternal Atake 2 ostensibly arriving in its place. It serves as the follow-up to 2023’s The Pink Tape, which was released in June 2023 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 167,000 total album units sold.

The original Eternal Atake was releasing to streaming services in March 2020 just ahead of the Covid-19 pandemic shutdown. EA sold 288,000 total album units in the first week. The project came in at No. 4 on Billboard‘s Top 20 Rap Albums of 2020 list.
