Lil Uzi Vert released the trailer to his highly anticipated upcoming album, ‘Eternal Atake.’
Named “Baby Pluto” and directed by Gibson Hazard, the piece contains a few Easter eggs...literally.
Theories are swirling all over the internet about what the trailer could mean, so we decided
to take a look at a few of the biggest ones.
First, we see Uzi in an office building for ‘Higher Source’ Insurance.
“Higher Source” links closely with Uzi’s use of the Heaven’s Gate Cult imagery throughout
Eternal Atake’s roll out.
“Heaven’s Gate” was a cult that committed mass suicide in the mid 1990s.
REPORTER: They called themselves Heaven’s Gate, a cult started in the 70s by a man named
Marshall Applewhite, who later called himself Do.
According to a 2014 piece, “Higher Source” was the name of Heaven’s Gate’s web design
platform, and quote... ...this crew of androgynous roommates in matching
close-cropped haircuts and baggy, modest clothes practiced what they called "Higher Source-computer
programming" in Java, Visual Basic, SQL, and C++
Uzi appears to be an employee.
On his computer screen, keen eyes were quick to notice the lyrics of Vert’s 2019 song,
“Sanguine Paradise.”
He then receives an alert with coordinates to Easter Island, home to the mysterious massive
statues dating back nearly a thousand years.
When he gets into the elevator, Uzi, always fashionable, is seen rocking the only remaining
fit pic left on his Instagram - Prada.
Head, to toe.
As a spaceship crashes in the field,we hear Travis Scott’s “Way Back” from his 2016
album, “birds in the trap sing mcknight.”
This may be a song on ‘Eternal Atake,’ as previewed on Working on Dying Producer
Brandon Finessin’s IG Live.
In fact, Uzi thanked Travis Scott saying quote.
Thank you @trvisXX for clearing Way Back sample it’s about 2 be a movie
I owe you . signed BABY PLUTO
As the trailer ends, we see the Easter Island statues as well as hear a snippet from Uzi’s
Billboard hit, “Futsal Shuffle.”
We also see Uzi, in all white, ascending into a waiting spaceship to leave - similar to
how the Heaven’s Gate cult believed it would end.
REPORTER: To outsiders that meant committing suicide, but to them, it meant moving on to
a more developed kingdom.
A spaceship or UFO he told the group, would pick up their souls and take them to begin
their new lives.
HOST: Uzi tweeted that there *is* symbolism in the outfits of the women in the video, saying
quote: If the Ladies in purple Decides to wear Blue
they are Searching For Love And Rebirth so that means they take your soul and you will
be stuck at the age that was your best year.
BUT Everything and everyone you love will die or disappear as time goes on .
The Baby Pluto trailer comes after Uzi held a contest on Twitter for fans to decide the
album cover for ‘Eternal Atake.’
It’s unclear when it will be released, but Uzi's been hinting at the project's release
date coming very, very soon.
Are there any easter eggs we missed?
