Lil Uzi Vert
Jan 31, 2023

Grammy-nominated artist Lil Uzi Vert was born Symere Woods in Philadelphia. The rapper flaunts a vision and fashion sense just as loud as his “futuristic trap” sound and dynamic voice. He first gained fame on Carnage’s single, “WDYW”, alongside A$AP Ferg and Rich The Kid and later with his turn on “Big Racks” for Young Thug’s Slime Season 2.
Lil Uzi Vert later released his debut album, LUV IS RAGE 2, which hit #1 and became RIAA certified gold in less than two months. One of the album’s hit singles, “XO Tour Llif3” also went on to earn 7x platinum certification in addition to being recognized as the “Song of the Summer” at the 2017 Video Music Awards. In 2018, he received a Grammy nomination as “Best New Artist”.
Lil Uzi Vert has also been featured on several record-breaking tracks, including Travis Scott's RIAA 3X platinum certified “Wasted” featuring Kanye West, his RIAA gold certified single with Future, “Drankin and Smokin” and Lil Baby’s RIAA platinum certified, “Commercial”.
In 2020, he dropped the deluxe edition of his long-awaited release, Eternal Atake, which includes part two of the album, titled LUV vs. The World 2, reaching #1. Eternal Atake would go on to gain RIAA Platinum certification and was nominated for favorite rap/hip hop album at the 2020 American Music Awards. Immediately following these projects, he and Future released both Pluto x Baby Pluto and the deluxe version in the same year. The Eternal Atake would go on to peak at #2 and features the notable singles “Patek” and “Over Your Head.”
Recently, he released the EP Red & White, first leaking the project on Soundcloud. He supported the highly anticipated release with a string of global festival performances this past summer including: HARD Summer Festival, Outside Lands, Rolling Loud Toronto, Breakout Festival, Rolling Loud New York, Wireless Fest, Something In The Water, and Made in America. The rapper's latest release is the viral sensation, “Just Wanna Rock”.
