DJ Drama and Don Cannon will not let Lil Uzi Vert drop his album Eternal Atake due to label reasons. Apparently, Uzi was supposed to drop his album in December and Atlantic Records refused that he could drop any music. Instagrammers were commenting some very vulgar post about him not letting Uzi drop any of his songs. Uzi decided to go on Instagram and post “Free Uzi” on his story because the label would not let him drop anything and he could not say too much on social media. He was supposed to be on NAV’s album but Don Cannon and DJ Drama would not let him clear his verse. He had other songs that he was featured on and his label still said no to Uzi. He had to explain to his followers that the label is basically holding his tracks and not letting drop anything and it has been a while since he has dropped an album. Uzi began to lose hope and wanted to quit rap because they would not let him drop a single track. Throughout continuous months of Uzi’s hiatus in the rap game he finally got confirmation that he could drop his album Eternal Atake any day now. Uzi still wanted out on his deal with Atlantic Records and Roc Nation helped him get out of his deal and he instantly began creating music again. Thanks to Jay-Z’s record label, Uzi is now able to record tracks and do as he pleases as far as the album goes. He recently dropped a track called “Free Uzi” that released on SoundCloud and Youtube; no other platforms did not receive this new Uzi song. That was his breakthrough as far as dropping music and he was glad to be able to do that again thanks to Jay-Z’s record label. After “Free Uzi” dropped then he released his new hit single “Sanguine Paradise” to follow up with that song. When he dropped “Sanguine Paradise” he began to talk about the money that he was getting after “Free Uzi” dropped! Throughout the success of his two newest songs keeping releasing more and more songs throughout the past two months he has been keeping his audience interested in his music. He dropped his song “That’s A Rack” to hype his fans up telling them that Uzi is back and better. He is doing well and traveling buying more jewelry every other day.

First Time Anime Watchers

Many people view anime as cartoons, however they do not realize that most of the anime that get displayed come from Japan and are not willing to give them a chance. I will explain that a lot of people have different preferences when it comes to watching anime. People love a good story in general but when you see anime characters fight the villain they gain a new powers or already powerful enough to defeat the villain. The protagonists and antagonists have back story that explains who they are and what they have been through in the past and the stories get intriguing as the story keeps progressing. When the story gets critical sometimes it actually teaching you a lesson at the very end of the season or leaves you questioning wanting to see the next seasons making you want to watch the manga. The manga goes into details on how the next anime season will play out and how detailed it will get. It gets very challenging watching anime at first but when a person starts watch it more and more it somewhat will become addicting. Anime that deal with adventures get a lot of attention and people love an ambitious story on why the main character this person wants to accomplish whatever they would like to accomplish. Everyone loves to see the main character develop as the story goes so that way it shows that the story is moving in a unique way. Some stories are similar and teach you valuable lessons throughout the seasons. The story has many fillers to give back stories about other characters and about their past and what they went through to become who they are current throughout the story. Each villain gets stronger than the next one to keep the audience’s attention. The villains have backstories to why they became evil and why they want to take over the world. Majority of protagonists create new bonds and continue to grow the old bonds. Some characters train hard in order to get stronger trying to defeat the boss and the weaker soldiers. They come up with strategies in order to defeat them or they might go in groups to defeat them or fight them head on. It is quite enjoyable to watch the character grow and find out how to stop problems as the story goes along. Nevertheless when the enemy gets destroyed and the world is at peace again.
