is a bit of a peculiar individual but a loveable one at that. It’s just something we’ve all learned on the road to Eternal Atake. Earlier today, Uzi  and so far, it does not disappoint. Following its release, J.I.D hit Twitter to recount the time he met backstage at a concert. The Dreamville rapper shared a few crying emojis as he recollected Uzi singing his praises, and then his own.

Over the past week, Uzi’s ramped up the campaign for Eternal Atake over the last few days. The rapper released the Backstreet Boys-sampled single, “That Way” on Sunday. In the last few days, he released a short film to accompany the album as well as the tracklist and cover art.
