Lil Uzi Vert is an open book. The rollout for Eternal Atake entailed Uzi sharing all his whims on Twitter and then acting on them. Considering how constrained by label issues he appeared to be in the past, it's exciting to see Uzi maneuver as he pleases. However, the release of his long-awaited sophomore album has also largely involved the input of his fans. The Philly rapper has been interacting with them on Twitter for this past week, hyping them up and answering questions. 

The Eternal Atake rollout is not over. The same day as its surprise release (Mar. 6), Uzi teased that the album's deluxe version is on the way. He tweeted all the artists he hopes to bring on board asking if they're ready. The list included Future, Lil Baby, Young Thug, and A Boogie wit da Hoodie. While he selected these guest features himself, he's seeking the advice of his fans regarding which songs should be added to the tracklist.

Fans are pulling inspiration from Uzi's previously previewed and leaked songs. One in particular that was heavily requested is "Myron", which was teased in a video of Uzi dancing to it back in 2018. It's produced by Working On Dying and had surfaced online under the title "Bonnie & Clyde". It was proven that "Myron" will finally gets its official release in a video Uzi just shared recording his ad-libs for the track. Uzi has also taken the suggestion of including "Jellybean" (aka "Kobe Rollie"), which boasts production by Pi'erre Bourne. 

On Sunday (Mar. 1), 50 Cent revealed his plan to executive produce Pop Smoke’s posthumous album. It appears 50 got his hands on the late Brooklyn rapper’s unreleased songs, which inspired him to polish them off and share them with the world. 50 has been openly mourning the loss of Pop Smoke, who was a friend and fellow NYC artist with a ferocious voice and drive. 50’s passion for the cause definitely makes him well-fitted to put the finishing touches on what may be considered as Pop Smoke‘s first official debut album. The head of Pop’s label, Steven Victor, has confirmed that 50 has been handed over the reins for this role. 

The TV mogul has already started holding casting calls for the project on his IG page, where he handles most of his affairs. After first announcing that he was on the hunt for a Roddy Ricch feature, “The Box” hitmaker responded that he is ready to report for duty. 50 then sent out his next request for Drake to appear as a guest, simultaneously taking a little jab at him. “See i got @roddyricch on deck, this shit gonna be stupid ?‍♂️ @champagnepapi where you at n****, don’t start acting light skinned on us.” Despite this playful call-out, Drake would probably be honored to contribute to the Pop Smoke album, as he has expressed great respect for him in the past. 

Little by little, we've been learning more about Lil Baby's forthcoming sophomore album, My Turn. This rollout commenced months ago and has been filled with changes. The project was initially slated to drop in 2019, but was then pushed to this year. Lil Baby recently confirmed that My Turn's release date will be February 28th, meaning we're only three weeks away from a classic. Now, the Atlanta rapper has taken to Twitter again to provide more details about the project in his customary nonchalant manner. "20 songs 8 Features," he tweeted on Sunday (Feb. 9). In December, he also teased that he was prepping a mixtape called Lamborghini Boys alongside his studio album, but he hasn't provided any updates on that since.
