Lil Uzi Vert Teases Another Joint Project With Future And Says ‘I’m Out’ After Two More Albums

Getty Image Fans of the Philly rapper can expect him and Future to join forces once again for a second full-length project. …

After staying quiet for a couple of years, Lil Uzi Vert returned with plenty of music in 2020. In his latest offering, the rapper teamed up with Future for their joint project entitled Pluto X Baby Pluto. Over the album’s 16 songs, the duo kept things in-house, as the album arrived without a single guest appearance. However, less than a day after the project arrived, Lil Uzi took to Twitter to deliver both good and bad news.

In the first of two tweets, the “Futsal Shuffle 2020” rapper revealed that he would retire from the rap game after his next two albums. “I’m dropping two more albums than I’m out,” Lil Uzi wrote in the tweet with a peace sign emoji. The Philly rapper deleted the post shortly after, but it’s unknown what caused him to tweet it in the first place. On the flip side, he also revealed that he and Future have another joint project on the way. “Crazy thing is me and @1future about to drop again,” he wrote.

Any additional information on the project is currently unknown, but if it were to arrive within the next few months, it would be Lil Uzi’s fourth official release in the span of a year, following Eternal Atake, its 14-track deluxe re-issue, and the Pluto X Baby Pluto project. As for Future, it would be his third album in a year, which began with his chart-topping album High Off Life.

Pluto X Baby Pluto is out now via Atlantic and Epic. Get it here.

Lil Uzi Vert is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
