“wokeuplikethis*” is a direct confrontation to imitators of Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vert’s distinct and unique style. The track features the classic hip-hop tropes of money, drugs and women. However, Carti expresses his frustration with the copycat genre throughout the chorus. One such imitator may be Smokepurpp, who copied the vocals and production of Carti’s 2014 single “Smash” in 2016. This song makes it clear that Carti and Uzi consider one and other as pioneers of the late 2010s generation of trap music.
This track marks the fourth released collaboration between Playboi Carti and Philadephia-born rapper Lil Uzi Vert. The song was released as a single along with “Lookin” (which featured Lil Uzi as well) prior to the release of Carti’s debut mixtape Playboi Carti.
