Interestingly enough, Uzi has seemingly embraced satanic imagery across his music and visual aesthetic. In that sense, his metaphorical deal with “the devil” is tinged with a sense of bitter irony. Of course, his predicament is frustrating for all parties, especially those with his well-being in mind. It can be devastating to fall out of love with a passion, and it would appear we’re witnessing the process unfold in real time. Hopefully Lil Uzi Vert can find a sense of peace, or change his name to a symbol, or both.
Best wishes to Uzi. It’s never fun to see an artist systematically drained of passion, and we can only hope that Eternal Atake is not lost as a piece of collateral damage. Of course, it’s entirely possible that this is all a calculated publicity stunt for his upcoming album, and he’ll be quick to hit us with the “PSYCHE!” without remorse.
