In celebration of the late artist’s birthday, XXXTENTACION’s camp released two new songs, one of which features Lil Uzi. If it wasn’t for XXXtentacion’s death, the Florida native would have been 25 today. “I’m Not Human” featuring Lil Uzi, listen by clicking the videos below.
XXX’s camp posted news about the songs on Instagram:
A gift from Jah… Thank you #liluzi 1.23.23
The release was met with mixed reviews on Twitter, with some happy to hear new music from X, and some upset thinking that the label is just trying to make more money off of the late artist.

This isn’t the first time that Lil Uzi showed his love for XXXtentacion.
The delicate and melancholy single mostly features a guitar-heavy instrumental without any drums. It is unclear whether Uzi’s vocals were recorded before XXX’s passing, seeing as how Uzi expressed his hesitance for making a posthumous song with him in the past.
X’s other song, “Very Rare Forever Freestyle,” had more energy and a catchy flow to make you experience joy for the music and remorse for the artist’s passing.
Did you like XXX’s songs? Do you think that XXX’s camp had his best interests at heart when they produced these new songs? Did these YouTube videos live up to your expectations? Do you miss XXXTENTACION as much as I do? Does his death still feel unreal? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
