Lil Uzi Vert Announces ‘EA2’ Album & Reveals Cover Art: Watch the Trailer

Lil Uzi Vert season has returned. The eclectic Philly rapper announced plans for their EA2 album on Wednesday (Oct. 24), which will serve as the sequel to 2020’s Eternal Atake.

Uzi released an atmospheric trailer to accompany the project detailing his journey to another planet. “On March 6, 2020, Lil Uzi Vert mysteriously vanished,” the screen reads. “While it was never confirmed what happened that day, the faithful believed it to be the fulfillment of a long-awaited prophecy… Eternal Atake.”

The Generation Now signee is transported in a UFO to another dimension where their memory is extracted and wiped clean by a group of natives from this unknown planet, who are seemingly possessed with a purple-tinted gleam in their eyes. The clip comes to a close with Uzi rocking a pink fur hat waking up to their new life.

Lil Uzi Vert also revealed the EA2 cover art, which includes the possessed women seen in the trailer as their skin radiates with purple and a demonic smile.

According to a pre-save link on Apple Music, EA2 is expected to arrive on Nov. 1. Uzi’s first three albums all topped the Billboard 200 and they’ll look to make it four in a row later this year.

Uzi possibly teased the intro track to the album in the form of a TV theme song. The jolly 30-second teaser finds a woman singing, “Here’s the story of a guy named Uzi/ Who’s known for his diamonds and his style/ From the streets to the stage, boy is busy/ Making music that’ll make you smile/ Little Uzi Vert, he’s the one to see/ Bringing joy to you and me/ Little Uzi Vert, he’s the one to see.”

The 29-year-old previously said they’d be retiring after his next album, but it’s unclear if that’s the case. The Pink Tape arrived in June 2023 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 167,000 total album units sold.

As for the original Eternal Atake, the LP hit streaming services in March 2020 just ahead of the Covid-19 pandemic shutdown. EA sold 288,000 total album units in the first week. The project came in at No. 4 on Billboard‘s Top 20 Rap Albums of 2020 list.
