Lil Uzi Vert's Four New Slappers Prove Bonus Tracks Don't Have to Suck

It's 'Luv Is Rage 2.5,' basically.

Uzi's been winning all year, dropping his biggest hit "XO Tour Llif3" and then couching that hit in a solid debut album. That album, Luv Is Rage 2, had its deluxe edition come out today, featuring four previously unreleased bonus tracks. Guess what? They're good. Great, even.

"Skir Skirr" and "Diamonds All on My Wrist" are serviceable and fun bangers, with Uzi doing a goofy Future impression on the latter. It's "Loaded" and "20 Mins," however, that perfectly capture Uzi's now-signature mixture of delivering flexing anthems with an aching undercurrent of emotion. These four songs are strong enough to easily stand on their own as a separate EP, a Luv Is Rage 2.5, if you will, so listen to all this goodness below.
