Rapper Lil Uzi Vert Makes Surprise Return with New Tracks and Partnership with Jay-Z's ROC Nation.
Lil Uzi Vert, a Grammy-nominated rapper, has released two surprise songs, "Chanel Boy" and "Relevant," which marks his return to the music scene after nearly seven months of silence. The tracks were released independently, but in conjunction with news that he had signed with Jay-Z's music management and distribution company, ROC Nation.
The move comes as a significant shift for Uzi, who has been associated with Atlantic Records since 2017. His previous album with the label, "Eternal Atake 2," debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 chart last November. However, Uzi's recent activities have been marked by controversy, including public disputes and hackers leaking music.
The partnership with ROC Nation is expected to give Uzi more creative control over his work, as well as access to resources that will enable him to take his artistry to new heights. Krystian Santini, president of ROC Nation Distribution, stated in a press release that the company is "thrilled to work together" with Uzi, who is considered a global icon and dynamic force in the music industry.
The return of Lil Uzi Vert comes after nearly seven months of relative quiet from the artist. His last notable appearance was on rapper Don Toliver's 2024 album "HARDSTONE PSYCHO," where he released a 29-second song, "Uzi The Earthling! (TV Show Theme)." Uzi's music often features brand name drops and playful lyrics, which are reflected in his recent releases.
The two new tracks have been accompanied by music videos, showcasing the artist's experimental production style. The video for "Chanel Boy" includes car burnouts and logo reveals, while "Relevant" continues Uzi's penchant for playful lyrics and brand name drops. Both songs are now available on all major streaming platforms.
Lil Uzi Vert has become a household name, particularly with his hit song "Just Wanna Rock," which inspired Philadelphia Eagles players to show off their dance moves during the team's Super Bowl run in 2022. However, his recent activities have also been marred by controversy, including a $110 million federal lawsuit filed by New York artist Rief Rawyal, who claims Uzi and his former management team copied elements of his song "Pain and Pleasure."

i think its cool that he get more control over his music but at the same time its like why did he just disappear for 7 months anyway 
and i gotta wonder if him signin with roc nation is gonna help him settle all them drama he been in or nah 
'Chanel Boy' is giving me all the car burnouts and logo reveals and 'Relevant' is still uzi being uzi 
what's interesting tho is that he's gone from atlantic records to jay-z's roc nation. i'm sure it's not just about the cash 
, but more about creative control and taking his artistry to new heights. krystian santini said roc nation is 'thrilled' to work with uzi which is pretty cool 
. on the flip side there's been some controversy surrounding uzi's recent activities, like that $110 million lawsuit against him 
. but hey, he's still making moves and i'm here for it 
. But seven months of silence? That's a long time for someone who's basically been away from their art. And now he's signing with Jay-Z's ROC Nation? That's some big leagues stuff right there 
!! 7 months is like forever in music land lol. i love how he's gonna have more creative control with roc nation, that's def gonna bring out the best in him 
. 110 million lawsuit tho... that's some scary stuff 
.
he's been quiet for too long but these new tracks are straight fire 
cant wait to hear more from him!
just heard lil uzi vert is back 
7 months of silence was forever 
but now we're gettin 2 new tracks & music vids already? 
maybe he'll drop a album soon & put all the drama behind us 
Lil Uzi Vert's return to the music scene is a total publicity stunt. I mean, he's been quiet for seven months and now suddenly drops two songs with Jay-Z's ROC Nation? It's like he wanted attention and it worked... kinda. The partnership with ROC Nation might be cool and all, but let's not forget that Lil Uzi Vert has been known to play both sides of the fence when it comes to his music deals. I'm not convinced this is about artistic growth or innovation 
. Sometimes taking a step back from the chaos can be a blessing in disguise 
. It shows that even when we think we've lost control, there's always an opportunity for growth and renewal 
. As for Lil Uzi Vert himself, it'll be interesting to see how he handles this new chapter 
i don't know what's going on with his past controversies though 
can't wait to see what else he has up his sleeve 
I love how brand name drops are still part of his vibe 
Let's see what Uzi does next, I'm all in 
. Seven months of silence was already weird, and then you add in this lawsuit from Rief Rawyal... sounds like Uzi might be in for another drama-filled few weeks 
. On the bright side, partnering with ROC Nation could bring some much-needed stability to his career 
i love how uzi is still being his playful self and dropping brand names
