\n\tThe drop landed on a date with history in Uzi\u2019s catalogue: exactly a decade earlier, on July 31, 2016, they released The Perfect LUV Tape<\/em>, which debuted at No. 55 on the Billboard 200 and has since been certified gold by the RIAA. Uzi had teased new material as recently as mid-July, sharing an Instagram Story showing work on a studio project.<\/p>\n\n

\n\tThe release followed the abrupt cancellation of Uzi\u2019s Lollapalooza set at Grant Park in Chicago, where they had been slated to perform Friday evening ahead of headliner Charli XCX. <\/p>\n
\n\tLollapalooza\u2019s official statement attributed the cancellation to \u201cweather issues,\u201d and NBC Chicago separately reported the cancellation was tied to the heavy rain and stormy conditions that swept the area throughout the day. Zara Larsson was moved up to fill the slot.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\tThe birthday release extends a run that has made Uzi one of the most commercially dominant hip-hop artists of their generation. They have topped the Billboard 200 three times \u2014 with Eternal Atake<\/em> (2020), its deluxe reissue Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2<\/em> (2020) and Pink Tape<\/em> (2023) \u2014 and scored a Hot 100 No. 1 as a featured artist on Migos\u2019 \u201cBad and Boujee\u201d in 2017. Their own \u201cXO Tour Llif3\u201d reached No. 3 on the Hot 100 and is certified diamond by the RIAA.<\/p>\n\n
