After teasing the song for months in snippets and performances, Lil Uzi Vert has finally released “New Patek,” the first single from his upcoming album Eternal Atake. The song was worth the wait and worthy of the hype. A little long (nearly six minutes) yet impossible to cut off, it is peak Uzi, dizzying in pace and oozing character, his yips bursting through the mix. Produced by Dolan Beats, the song samples Yuki “Lin” Hayashi’s title track from the anime “Death Parade.” Through crystalline harp riffs and Zaytoven-ish piano flourishes, Uzi unleashes some of his most cartoonishly inventive raps yet.

Many of the best Uzi songs are subtly chaotic, and “New Patek” carries in it all of that anarchic energy. His songs are imbued with his mischievousness and charisma and he’s liable to do or say just about anything in them. In fact, the lawlessness is part of that charm; he pairs a punk ethos with a spitter’s mentality. There are no rules to his craft: this song has multiple hooks; the last verse is an earlier verse cut in half; punches come on off-beats without setups; the beat randomly bottoms out; he’s just as likely to belt out a tune as he is to rip through a cadence. His zany non sequiturs thrash through the gossamer of the gorgeous sounds, each phrase unwound as if from a spindle. He’ll spiral off into inventorying his jewelry but he’s just as prone to stumbling upon something brilliantly arbitrary like “I am a octopus, I cannot breathe without water/So I put diamonds on my tentacles” or “Her ass so fat, it’s a miracle/Her last man money hysterical/She from the 619, Rey Mysterio.” “New Patek” seems like it could go on forever—the verse fades out with Uzi still rapping, only breaking after he mutters, “yeah, that’s it,” at the close, as if finally satisfied. And when the song does finally end, it almost feels like it did so too soon.
