Uzi also leaves room for his signature melodic sound. On “Million Dollar Play,” Uzi experiments with a rapid delivery that gives the track a rhythmic drive unfamiliar to his previous work: “I got a lot whole lot of bands in my pants, they from France / My girl from Chicago, she said she don't like rappers.” The song features an entirely new flow from Uzi and contains his strongest verse on the project. In contrast, Uzi displays an impressive toolkit that keeps his outings diverse and exciting. Perhaps a result of the rapper’s lengthy career, very few of the songs on the album stand out as unique among his discography.

Future’s main problem is his lack of versatility, utilizing a similar flow and cadence on a majority of the tracks. However, for much of the project, Uzi outshines Future the student has surpassed the teacher. The track, “That’s It,” features similar thrills with Uzi and Future rotating hook duty. On the chorus to “Plastic,” Future passes the song off to Uzi, “Yeah, late for church / Yeah, switch your purse / Yeah, swap to Vert.” Uzi matches Future’s cool flow, “Yeah, gettin’ them racks / Yeah, spendin them racks / Yeah, makin’ it back.” The duo’s effortless bar for bar delivery makes the song one of the best on the album. The rappers feed off each other’s energy, throwing verses back and forth with infectious confidence. Nevertheless, the excitement of hearing Future and Uzi together is enough to forgive most of the missed opportunities.įirst and foremost, the album is a showcase of Future and Uzi’s stellar musical chemistry. It is equivalent to a really great playlist - a project that can be played just as well on shuffle as in order. The album lacks the overall cohesion and experimentation that made Uzi’s “Eternal Atake” such a success. The production is consistently high quality, but it doesn’t break any new ground. The opening track “Stripes Like Burberry” is a fitting introduction, nicely cradling Uzi and Future’s melodic delivery in a landscape of synths, high hats, and bass. The best beats on the project come from known hit-makers Zaytoven, London on da Track, and veteran executive producer DJ ESCO. On the album, the pair are solidly supported by straightforward production that forsakes artistic growth in the name of fun. “Pluto x Baby Pluto” is the highly-anticipated first full-length collaboration from the “Pluto” rappers.

In March, Future featured on the deluxe version of Uzi’s album “Eternal Atake.” In May, Uzi appeared on Future’s eight album, “High on Life.” And in August, the rappers released a pair of singles. Uzi’s “Baby Pluto” alter ego is inspired by Future’s 2012 debut album, “Pluto.” This year, the duo has churned out a steady run of team-ups. Separated by a ten-year age gap, the junior Uzi has been vocal about Future’s influence on his music. A Future-Uzi collab album has been in the works for some time. In the past five years, the rapper has released projects with Gucci Mane, Young Thug, and Drake. While the album as a whole is a success, Future’s failure to innovate on his signature style leaves quite a bit to be desired.įuture is a veteran of the joint album.
