Indeed, it’s unclear if many of the song’s fans are aware it’s not actually called “All My Friends Are Dead” (a much better title, admittedly), or that Uzi Vert appears to be repeating back something said to him, as opposed to declaring that all of his friends are dead. Regardless, the official stream has racked up over 16 million plays in 15 days with no promotion beyond a link on Twitter. Those final two lines repeat, composing the central motif of the song. Produced by the Atlanta beat-maker TM88, the song captures a back-and-forth between Uzi Vert and a suicidal romantic interest who has entered into his orbit: One of those tracks is called “XO Tour Llif3,” a reference to his current stint opening for the The Weeknd overseas. A few weeks ago the kaleidoscope-haired rapper put four new songs up on his Soundcloud, the platform that helped propel him onto the verge of superstardom. Lil Uzi Vert has a new hit, even if you don’t know it yet.
