Lil Uzi Vert may have just dropped two new albums earlier this year, but he's already prepping to release a third, and according to the rapper himself, it's going to feel like the mid-2010s again. Earlier this week, Uzi teased on Twitter that he's got a new album coming soon, just two months after dropping Eternal Atake as well as the deluxe version, LUV Vs. The World 2. A few days after making the exciting announcement, the ever-active tweeter also revealed that DJ Plugg, one of the producers from Uzi's 2015 breakout mixtape, Luv Is Rage, will be working on his untitled upcoming project. Now, Uzi is offering up some more details about his new album, including the type of "energy" we can expect from it.

On Saturday (May 16th), Uzi responded to a fan who asked him, "are we gonna feel the energy through the songs like old uzi music?" Uzi reassured them that his new music would, in fact, be reminiscent of his early stuff, replying, "Yes I had 2 get my feet wet again if you here my new features I’m back on my shit."
Prior to this exchange, Uzi also interacted with a different fan who asked him, "how excited are you about your new album?" Uzi indicated that "I’m very thankful right now so I’m Excited..."
Are you stoked to hear Uzi's new album?
Lil Wayne’s Vault In Shambles After 12 Unreleased Songs Surface
Fort Knox, it ain’t.
Given that Lil Wayne essentially lives in the studio, it’s no wonder his vault of unreleased music is stuffed to near-capacity. And while his team has done a decent job at running a well-oiled machine, it’s not entirely uncommon to see Wayne’s music surface unexpectedly — fans may recall that even a near-complete draft of Tha Carter V ended up in Martin Shkreli’s dubious grasp. Unfortunately for Big Weezy, another massive leak has plagued the legendary rapper, as highlighted over at HipHopNMore.

It would appear that twelve songs, all titled using Chinese characters, have hit SoundCloud. The batch apparently stems from between 2012 and 2013, which would place him in the midst of Tha Carter IV and I Am Not A Human Being 2. It’s unclear as to what these tracks might have been intended for, but it should be noted that some feature guest verses from Curren$y, Kidd Kidd, and Mack Maine. From the sound of it, all twelve of the tracks are unmastered.
It’s unclear as to how Weezy feels about this latest leak. At least it didn’t stem from Funeral, his upcoming album slated for an uncertain–though POSSIBLY February-– 2020 release.
