Pluto × Baby Pluto is a collaborative studio album by American rappers Future and Lil Uzi Vert.[3] It was released on November 13, 2020,[4] and was previewed through several trailers starting from July 2020. The title signifies the combination of both artists' nicknames: Future is referred to as Pluto, as expressed through his debut album Pluto (2012), while Lil Uzi Vert identifies as Baby Pluto, as expressed through the song "Baby Pluto" from Eternal Atake (2020). It is the second project released by Future in 2020, following High Off Life. It is also the third project released by Lil Uzi Vert in the year, following Eternal Atake and its deluxe reissue, notably after a lack of music released by Uzi between 2018 and 2019.
A deluxe version of the album was released on November 17, 2020, four days following the release of Pluto x Baby Pluto.
Both Future and Lil Uzi Vert blanked their Instagram pages on July 21, 2020, and proceeded to upload a visual teaser directed by Hype Williams, intended to announce an upcoming project titled "Pluto x Baby Pluto".[10][11] On July 31, 2020, Lil Uzi's 26th birthday, the duo released two joint songs titled "Patek" and "Over Your Head",[12] both of which would later turn out to be on the deluxe edition of the album. On September 22, a video featuring the two rappers playing soccer with several women was uploaded.[13] On November 11, 2020, both artists officially announced the joint project on their social media via another trailer. The visual sees the two rappers discussing whether to leave Earth for another planet.[14] The cover art and tracklist were revealed on November 12, 2020.[3]
