Lil Uzi Vert Says “The Pink Tape” Is Dropping Later This Month

Lil Uzi Vert says that their upcoming project, The Pink Tape, will dropping at some point later this month. They teased the release window for the album during an appearance at The Roots Picnic over the weekend. Some fans on social media were quick to note that June 23 is National Pink Day in the United States.

For Uzi’s performance, they brought back the purple dreadlocks look they rocked when their career first took off. Fans on social media were stoked to see the style. “holy shit uzi is locked, they boutta drop a classic,” one user wrote on Twitter.

Uzi has been teasing The Pink Tape since at least 2021, although their updates have gotten more frequent in recent months. Back in March, Uzi revealed to TMZ that they were sober for the recording of the project. “It was challenging at first. But then after probably after a month, I got used to it,” Uzi said. “I thought that my creative process wasn’t going to be the same because I wasn’t on drugs no more. It was the same. Even better. Because I could think more clear and I could actually, like, instead of my words slurring, which is kinda of cool, everything made sense. I didn’t just make random music. How can I say? I didn’t play off the beat. I actually made song with topics this time.”

Uzi’s longtime collaborator, Don Cannon, recently revealed that the rapper’s recorded over 600 songs for The Pink Tape. “Ain’t nothing changed so he one of them guys. And it’s different because we’re getting all kinds of songs out of him. Might get a rock song, a real rap song, because he really rap. Might get the melodic shit that he do. That’s a fun thing,” Cannon explained on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion podcast.
