Although Lil Uzi Vert’s music has frequently been leaked, he is now going above and beyond to protect his upcoming album The Pink Tape from hackers.
On June 8, Uzi used Instagram Live to play unheard tracks for his followers and reveal a release date for the eagerly awaited record.
Additionally, he showed a novel necklace with a flash drive in place of a pendant that holds the much anticipated third album’s files.
He held up the flash drive and the white beaded chain and stated, “The Pink Tape, I keep it on a chain.” It will be delivered to Elliot [Eliantte] tomorrow so he can completely cover it in pink diamonds. I wear a chain around it. The entire roll of pink tape is hanging on a chain just here.
“I haven’t been wearing any jewelry because this costs more than any chain I own. This small item right here, right here. I always wear it.
The Generation Now rapper then reiterated his guarantee that The Pink Tape will be released by the end of June while sporting his vintage purple dreads.
He announced, “The album is coming at the end of this month.” “I’m at my breaking point. You realize I’m crazy, right? The end of the month will see its release, even if I have to drop it myself.
In addition, a keen-eyed viewer pointed out in the comments section that June 23 is National Pink Day, which would be a perfect match for Uzi’s new endeavor.
The project’s “final stages” were mentioned in a prior update from DJ Drama in April, when he spoke on the Justin Credible Podcast and stated that it was in that stage.
The project isn’t being rushed because Lyle, Uzi’s producer, wants to make sure it’s a “classic” rather than a “bunch of random songs,” he also informed fans on Instagram last month.
Additionally, Lyle stated that Uzi has been “for the most part” recording five songs every day, and that they are improving with each passing day. The lengthy wait for the album has also been a result of the fact that “it’s hard to scale down 1500+ songs to an album.”
