Cover art
The artwork was designed by 20-year-old St. Louis artist Fvrris, sourcing the art of Bryan Lee O’Malley, whose Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is referenced in the album’s title. The cover art transforms Lil Uzi Vert into an anime style character in reference to Scott Pilgrim. They are featured with a depiction of their own love interest, Brittany Byrd, lying atop their head, in reference to Ramona Flowers. The background is filled with a mob of people, who appear to be enviously gazing at Uzi, emulating their "haters" it could also be a reference to the seven deadly ex's (Scott Pilgrim). Uzi, however, seems to only be bothered about the girl on their head. One person is spinning a basketball on their finger. This is an allusion to Brittany, who played basketball before meeting Uzi, as revealed by Nardwuar in an interview. Two cameras flash directly at Uzi in order to portray the newfound fame Uzi have accumulated. In front of the two girls kissing, there is a bass guitar that has "Rage" engraved on its side, altogether alluding to Uzi's previous project Luv Is Rage. The use of a colourful, psychedelic background highlights the cloud rap genre Uzi use in the mixtape.
