Lil Uzi Vert, born Symere Bysil Woods on 31 July in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is an American rapper whose birth year is given as "1994 or 1995" in the reference record itself and is carried here as disputed. The mixtape Luv Is Rage (2015) led to Atlantic Records through DJ Drama's Generation Now, with later Roc Nation management. "Money Longer" (2016) broke them nationally; a feature on Migos' No. 1 "Bad and Boujee" and the solo top-ten hit "XO Tour Llif3" (2017) followed. Three consecutive solo albums topped the Billboard 200 — Luv Is Rage 2 (2017), Eternal Atake (2020) and Pink Tape (2023), the last opening with 167,000 units as the first rap No. 1 of 2023. They were Grammy-nominated for Best New Artist in 2018, and Eternal Atake 2 (2024) debuted at No. 3.
