Lil Uzi Vert

Lil Uzi Vert, born Symere Bysil Woods in Philadelphia in 1995, broke into the mainstream with the 2017 debut studio album *Luv Is Rage 2*. The album included the hit single “XO Tour Llif3,” which was also featured on the EP *Luv Is Rage 1.5*. Known for blending trap beats with rock-inspired guitar riffs, Uzi collaborated with producers like Don Cannon and Maaly Raw, and featured on tracks with artists such as Future and Playboi Carti, solidifying their role in the late-2010s SoundCloud rap scene. In addition to chart success, including multiple entries on the Billboard Hot 100, Lil Uzi Vert’s influence extends to fashion, notably through partnerships with brands like Nike and collaborations with designer Virgil Abloh. Their distinctive look—highlighted by brightly colored hair, facial piercings, and tattoos—has become emblematic of a new wave of hip-hop artists redefining the genre’s visual identity.
