March 6, 2020, was the day that rapper, song-writer, and popular fashion icon Lil Uzi Vert released his highly anticipated album “Eternal Atake”. The Philadephia rapper first teased the release of “Eternal Atake” shortly after the explosive success of his debut album “LIR 2”.
Since then and now, people began to hack and leak unreleased songs from Lil Uzi Vert and he took to his social media to say he will retire from the music industry. After much digging, people found out that Symere (Lil Uzi Vert) was having tension with his music label “Generation Now”. This is when “Roc Nation” decided to intervene and they supplied Symere with all he needed to make music on his own free will. Since people were leaking his music, Symere had to make a new tracklist of songs that people never heard before. This caused major delays in the release date. In 2019, Symere had a concert in Los Angeles. At the concert, he said that he was finished with the album and was ready to release it whenever he wanted to.
He then released two songs out of the blue, “Sanguine Paradise” and “That’s a Rack” This caused fans to finally thin that he was releasing the album. This did not happen and instead, he went silent until he started to become active on his Twitter page. He then promised a release date between 3-0-2020 to 3-14-2020.
He finally released the album on Friday, March 6, 2020. It received immediate appreciation and positivity. In reaction, Symere decided to collaborate with many well-known music creators. To name a few, Future, Lil Baby, Chief Keef, and many others. Symere tweeted that he will drop eight or more new songs on the deluxe. Everyone enjoyed Eternal Atake and is now anticipating the deluxe.
