Lil Uzi Vert’s ‘Barter 16’ was meant to be a tribute to Young Thug’s ‘Barter 6,’ blending Uzi’s experimental style with Thugger’s iconic influence. After the success of ‘Pink Tape,’ Uzi hinted that ‘Barter 16’ would be next, with teases on social media and a cover art drop on Young Thug’s birthday.

The scrapped album remains a ‘what if’ in Uzi’s unpredictable discography, as we look forward to what comes next.
