Lil Uzi Vert has finally given their fans a definitive release date for The Pink Tape.
On Monday, June 26, the Philly native released a compelling trailer for their upcoming album. The anime-inspired visuals, directed by Gibson Hazard, shows Uzi fighting for the pink jewel that used to live on their forehead in an epic battle. Hours after debuting the action-packed trailer, the Generation Now artist revealed the official cover art for The Pink Tape, which features Uzi standing in front of a black and pink-themed American flag. They also confirmed that the album will drop on Friday, June 30.
The album trailer and cover art arrived a day after they previewed new music on two separate occasions. Their most recent preview happened at the beginning of their opening set the BET Awards 2023. An unreleased song, which contains lyrics about Ice Spice, boomed through the speakers as Uzi descended down from the ceiling to the stage. Prior to that, the "Just Wanna Rock" rapper debuted another unreleased record during his set at Summer Smash in Chicago.
It's been nearly a year since Lil Uzi Vert delivered a fresh project for their fans. Last July, Uzi released the Red & White EP containing 10 songs like "Space Cadet" and "Flex Up." It was a decent attempt to keep their followers at bay until his follow-up to his 2020 LP Eternal Atake arrived. Now it seems like the wait for their new album will finally end this Friday.
