Lil Uzi is not exactly famous for phoning in features, but he sounds positively rejuvenated on “Big tonka,” one of two appearances on the deluxe edition of Yeat’s album 2 Alivë.

The track is a convincing throwback to Uzi’s breakout release LUV Is Rage, the mixtape which gave rise to the eponymous rap subgenre of “Rage” that Yeat operates in.

Brandon Finessin’s beat, a cacophony of top 10 anime betrayal melody and almost every hit in the 808 sample pack, is the first indication of what’s to come.

Then, Yeat’s endearingly garbled flexing washes over the instrumental, a wonderful appetizer before Uzi emerges like a hellhound. “Yeah, fuck it, get high as I like” Uzi snaps, sounding connected once more with the hunger that fuelled his rise. – JD.
