Lil Uzi Vert has teased his upcoming project titled “Barter 16,” which pays homage to Young Thug’s Barter 6 album, released in 2015. The tribute is meant to honor the Atlanta rapper on his birthday which was on August 16.
However, it’s not just the release that has fans talking – it’s the cover art causing a stir.
Social media has been buzzing with reactions to the “Just Wanna Rock” artist’s recreation of the cover. Some fans are excited about the project, with one user saying, “It would be dope if the whole tape was just Thug features tho.”
Others are jokingly commenting on Lil Uzi’s appearance in the picture, with one user saying, “Ayo he butt naked.” The rapper has always been known for his unique fashion sense, and this cover seems no exception.
It’s no surprise that Lil Uzi Vert and Young Thug are collaborating again. The two rappers have a history of working together on various songs, including “What’s The Move,” “Up,” and “Hellcat Kenny.”
Their previous collaborations have received praise from fans and critics alike, and their upcoming project will be no different. While Uzi has not announced an official release date for “Barter 16,” fans eagerly await its arrival.
Meanwhile, Atlanta rapper Gunna took to Instagram to commemorate Young Thug’s birthday, posting a throwback picture of the rapper. The former YSL member was recently indicted along with Young Thug and other members of YSL for RICO charges in May 2022.
In other Lil Uzi Vert news, he is set to perform at the inaugural IYKYK Music Festival in Arizona on September 9. The festival, which is gaining attention for its star-studded lineup, will feature performances by Metro Boomin and other notable artists.
This homage to Young Thug’s album cover is just one example of how artists pay tribute to their peers in the rap industry. Recently, the late rap legend The Notorious B.I.G. was honored with an international campaign by Pepsi Max.
