This past weekend, Lil Uzi took the stage at Rolling Loud California, delivering a much-anticipated performance. Wearing colored contacts, a red jacket and pants set and donning a spiky punk hairstyle, the rapper performed fan favorites, alongside a few unreleased cuts.
One song that got the crowd talking saw Uzi shout out his partner, JT of City Girls, while simultaneously poking fun at online conspiracy theories about him. “I make a City Girl believe in Satan.” he rapped in one bar of a never-before-heard song.
Later in their show, Uzi addressed the delay of the long-awaited Pink Tape LP.
The rapper began teasing the tape over a year and a half ago, releasing snippets from the project throughout 2022. It was said to be dropping in December, which ultimately came and went. And in January, Uzi posted an Instagram Story saying that they would be releasing the album in February.
At Rolling Loud, however, Uzi shared that they’re still working on putting together the tape.
“I do make y’all wait a long time for music and I’m so sorry. I thought that shit was cool before but that shit is lame,” Uzi told the crowd.
“I’m putting the final touches on Pink Tape and I promise — I made a lot of promises in my life, but this time I promise,” they said.
While the rapper didn’t give a definitive release date, it’s likely that the unreleased music they performed during their set comes from the forthcoming Pink Tape.
