Future and Lil Uzi Vert are about to release… something. The “Too Much Sauce” duo have been teasing a collaboration between them for the past several months, putting out bread crumbs such as their double release of singles “Over Your Head” and “Patek.” Their fans believe they’re working on a joint mixtape but their moods were dampened when the project didn’t materialize on its rumored release date.
Now, however, it appears as if those fans’ thirst for this release may be quenched in some fashion this Friday. Both Uzi and Future shared an intriguing trailer for what appears to be a Hype Williams-directed music video. Whether that video will be for one of their previously released singles or accompany a full project remains to be seen. Both artists love to build hype while remaining as mysterious as possible — see Uzi’s out-of-the-blue drop for the deluxe version of Eternal Atake or Future’s Drake-featuring “Life Is Good” video from way back in the pre-COVID times.
The two rappers had already released the video for “Wassup” in May, so it’s likely they do have more songs recorded. We’ll have to wait a few hours to find out what they’re serving up next.
Lil Uzi Vert is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Ewulf crank it up with the pounding latest release “Shutting It Down”
Ewulf’s latest release, “Shuttin It Down” has that kind of energy that’s meant to get attention from the jump. The song is produced with a heavy hip-hop beat and an R&B crossover hook that’s all about a hyped, high energy vibe. The result is a throbbing dose of movement to the track, offsetting the weight of its production with a smooth, R&B-inflected hook.
One of the more obvious strengths of “Shuttin It Down” is the production. The heavy kick gives the track a solid rhythmic base and the catchy synths give a memorable element to the sound. All of these things add up to a production that is direct and energetic but does not lose the melodic side brought in by the crossover hook.
“Shuttin It Down” performs the most basic of musical magic, it generates energy in the room. Ewulf merges the power of hip-hop production with the softer sound of an R&B hook to create a track all about the momentum. The heavy kick is the backbone of the rhythm and the synth work gives the track a more melodic feel.

Prem Byrne suffers a painful loss of freedom on latest release “How Life Is”
Prem Byrne’s “How Life Is” provides a reflective musical voice to a personal family experience. Byrne penned the song after watching a relative lose his driver’s license because he was too old to drive, a painful thing for Byrne to witness. “Really the song is about the freedom and the control you get from driving and how hard it is when you suddenly lose that independence.”
How Life Is” is a mix of pop, rock and world music, with some ’80s flavor adding character to the arrangement. Byrne adds guitar, vocals, and bansuri, tying some of the elements of the performance together in a way that feels personal. The sounds combine to give the single its own identity while keeping its central subject very much in focus.
There’s an honest sense of reflection to “How Life Is,” making it more than just a song about a driving license. It’s a look at independence, aging, and the feelings that come with watching someone go through a major change to their daily life. Are genuine and accessible because of Prem Byrne’s soulful vocals, moving melodies, and meaningful lyrical approach. “How Life Is” is finally a thoughtful piece of songwriting that achieves emotional resonance in an experience many families can relate to, and shows Byrne’s skill at connecting personal stories to listeners.
