Global trailblazer Lil Uzi Vert has made a huge power move, officially signing a deal with Roc Nation Distribution, a strategic decision that allows the superstar rapper to maintain complete independence and fully own all of his masters. This monumental announcement coincides with the release of the new single, “Chanel Boy,” which was produced by ZeeGoinXrazy. With this unique arrangement, the Philadelphia native joins Jay-Z and Rihanna as the only two artists to be both managed by Roc Nation and signed to Roc Nation Distribution. Uzi further solidified the partnership by also signing a separate deal with Roc Nation Publishing, locking in a major new chapter for his career.
The multiple Grammy-nominated and RIAA diamond-certified superstar has built a staggering legacy already, amassing over thirty-one billion career streams to date. Uzi has consistently released an array of critically acclaimed albums, with three of those projects successfully reaching the highly coveted No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 charts. The artist has earned over one hundred placements on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, cementing signature hits such as the diamond-certified single “XO Tour Llif3,” “Just Wanna Rock,” “Futsal Shuffle 2020,” and “That Way,” among many others.
Uzi’s unparalleled ability to consistently blend genres has earned a fiercely loyal fan base and secured a permanent spot among the most innovative artists of this current generation. His extensive catalogue includes multiple platinum and gold-certified tracks, including “The Way Life Goes” and “Neon Guts” featuring Pharrell Williams, along with the highly successful collaborative project ‘Pluto X Baby Pluto’ with Future. Additionally, Uzi’s crucial involvement in Migos’ massive hit single “Bad and Boujee” further solidified a reputation for successfully shaping chart-topping collaborations that define the sound of modern hip-hop.
