The catchiness of the track is contrasted by its dour subject matter, giving Luv Is Rage 2 an appreciable depth. Despite featuring high-profile guests like Pharrell Williams ('Neon Guts') and the Weeknd ('UnFazed'), Uzi fares better on his own, his oddball personality and endearing uniqueness adding flavor to highlights like 'Two ®' and 'Sauce It Up.' A sample of Oh Wonder's 'Landslide' elevates single 'The Way Life Goes,' a melodic pop moment that finds Uzi in a tender and yearning state.

While production - courtesy of Don Cannon, TM88, Metro Boomin, WondaGurl, and more - improved upon that of his mixtapes, the colorful lyrical content remained as dark, hedonistic, and candid as ever, with Uzi layering rhymes about sex and drugs atop vulnerable moments relating to a tough breakup. A sequel to his 2015 mixtape, Luv Is Rage 2 celebrated Uzi's rapid ascent in the hip-hop world, marking his mainstream breakthrough with the single 'XO Tour Llife3' and peaking at the top spot of the Billboard 200.

After the steady release of EPs and mixtapes in the three years following his debut, Philadelphia rapper Lil Uzi Vert finally issued his first official studio full-length in 2017.
