EDITORIAL REVIEWS
2017 release. The Philadelphia rapper flaunts a vision and fashion sense just as loud as his futuristic trap sound and dynamic voice. He doesn't simply stand out in a crowd; he draws everyone right to him. Growing up in the city Schoolly D, The Roots, Meek Mill, and Rocky Balboa call home, Lil Uzi Vert first picked up a microphone in high school. He spent countless hours honing his craft, making sporadic trips to New York City in order to record through his friend William Aston's studio connection. Along the way, he carved out a distinct style that reflects his love for Wiz Khalifa as much as it does his passion for Marilyn Manson. Now, Lil Uzi Vert stands poised to ignite hip-hop with his own fire. "I take modern rap and put more musical influence to it under the trap," he leaves off. "I want to show people the future and what's possible with the sound. This is who I am. This is my world."
