After years of waiting, Lil Uzi Vert released his album Eternal Atake last year to critical and commercial success. However, Uzi himself doesn't have the warmest feelings towards the project: in a new interview with W Magazine, Lil Uzi Vert said the album was "dumbed down," adding that the project "didn't reach its full potential." Vert said that music leaks forced him to go back to the drawing board several times.
