Lil Uzi Vert has been on a high ever since Pink Tape dropped over the summer, and they’ve already started plotting their next big move.
On Wednesday (November 22), the 28-year-old took the Pink Tape Tour to their hometown of Philadelphia and performed an explosive set comprising fan favorites as well as recent additions to their rich catalogue.

Between all the organized chaos, they took a moment to update attendees on a pivot they plan on making for their next project, Luv Is Rage 3.
“Don’t get me wrong, like, the songs I’m makin’ and shit, like all the ‘AAAAH,” they explained. “All that shit is cool, but I’m gettin’ back to my original shit.”

Despite all the excitement building up around their next release, Lil Uzi Vert’s trailblazing career will soon be coming to an end as they recently announced plans to quit music altogether.
During night two of their Pink Tape Tour in Chicago last month, the Generation Now rapper revealed that their upcoming album will be their “last.”
They promised fans that they will embark on one more tour to support the project, after which they will retire from the business in hopes of leading a “normal life.”
“Luv Is Rage 3 will be my last album,” Uzi told the crowd, which was met by audible disappointment. “No, relax. It’s okay […] After Luv Is Rage 3, I guess I will go on another tour for Luv Is Rage 3. But after that, I wanna try to live a normal life.”
Lil Uzi Vert has yet to announce a release date for the record, but they’ve been teasing the album for some time now. Earlier this month, Baby Pluto kickstarted the rollout with a new song called “NFL,” which ostensibly serves as the lead single.

The upcoming project will serve as the sequel to Luv Is Rage 2, which dropped in August 2017. Home to the smash hit “XO Tour Llif3,” the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has since been certified double platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).
