Honestly they’re gonna push Eternal Atake as either “unreleased music” or “his first album since his departure from music”

Highly doubt Lil Uzi is gonna quit* music for sure any time soon.
Everyone has their low points and vent about giving up at some point. I just think he legit needs a hug. All jokes aside. Sometimes venting and a hug can really help.
