Overview
- Hours after their Lollapalooza set was canceled on July 31, Lil Uzi Vert released the eight-track EP Maverick “Almost Forever” to mark their 31st birthday.
- Lollapalooza organizers cited weather issues for the last-minute cancellation and local reporting described heavy rain and travel disruptions in Chicago that day.
- The EP’s cover shows a young Uzi with their grandmother and the release date coincides with the 10th anniversary of The Perfect LUV Tape, giving the drop a personal, retrospective tone.
- Early reports show strong placement on Apple Music’s charts based on an Instagram capture, but those platform-specific snapshots are not an official chart certification.
- Fans and outlets interpret cover-art details reading "Album after this" as a teaser for a full-length record, though no label or artist confirmation of a new album has been published.
