A rapper who grew up on the beats of Marilyn Manson and Kanye's 808
& Heartbreak, Lil Uzi Vert came out of North Philadelphia with a
relaxed style that connected the dots between Young Thug, Chief Keef,
and the A$AP Mob. Debuting by featuring on some DJ Diamond Kuts tracks,
Uzi kicked his career into high gear in 2015 when he dropped "Dej Loaf,"
a dedication to the Detroit vocalist. Don Cannon hosted his mixtape The
Real Uzi that same year, then DJ Drama helped broker a deal with
Atlantic Records, which released his Luv Is Rage mixtape late in 2015.
Don Cannon was back for the early-2016 mixtape Lil Uzi vs. the World,
which also featured beats from Metro Boomin and Maaly Raw. Two of its
tracks -- "You Was Right" and "Money Longer" -- crossed over and reached
the Billboard Hot 100, while the album itself broke into the Billboard
200 Top 50. Months later, The Perfect Luv Tape was issued, peaking at
number 55. By the end of the year, his collaboration with Migos -- the
viral hit "Bad & Boujee" -- began its ascent to the top of the
Billboard Hot 100, hitting number one at the start of 2017. Later that
year, Uzi issued the single "XO Tour Llif3." The track climbed into the
Top Ten of the Hot 100 and would be the first offering from his
chart-topping debut LP, Luv Is Rage 2.
