Uzi released the 26-track album PINK TAPE, the first rap album of 2023 to top the Billboard 200 chart, their third consecutive #1 album. The success of Uzi’s latest project follows the critically acclaimed RIAA Platinum albums; LUV IS RAGE 2, ETERNAL ATAKE, and LIL UZI VERT VS. THE WORLD, two of which landed #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. LUV IS RAGE 2 featured the hit Diamond certified worldwide hit, “XO Tour Llif3,” 4X Platinum certified, “The Way Life Goes,” and Platinum certified, “Neon Guts (feat. Pharrell Williams).”

 Uzi’s boundless discography includes THE PERFECT LUV TAPE, LUV IS RAGE, PLUTO X BABY PLUTO with Future, RED & WHITE EP, and LUV VS. THE WORLD 2. In addition to their extensive catalog, the artist has also featured on several record-breaking tracks including Migos’ RIAA 4X Platinum, GRAMMY-nominated, chart-topping hit single, “Bad and Boujee.”  Lil Uzi Vert hit the road on the sold out PINK TAPE TOUR in 2023 and was nominated for Best Rap Song for the chart topping smash, “I Just Wanna Rock.”

About Lil Yachty Lil Yachty is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer from Atlanta Georgia. He’s released five studio albums, with his most recent being Let’s Start Here. , a psychedelic alternative rock album released in January of 2023 and debuted as #1 on Billboard’s Top Rock & Alternative Albums list, #9 on Billboard’s Top 200 list, was the #1 Album on Apple Music, and has received over 60 million streams in the first two months. He made his Saturday Night Live (SNL) musical guest debut April 1st of this year and he graced the cover of Billboard magazine’s 2023 March issue, has made multiple appearances on film and TV, collaborated with brands such as Sprite, Reese’s Puffs, and Nautica, delved into fashion with projects such as his own nail polish brand Crete, and has his own frozen pizza (Deep Cuts Yachty’s Pizzeria).

About J.I.D. Born and raised in East Atlanta, Grammy nominated J.I.D has been heralded as “one of rap’s best storytellers'' (Rolling Stone). He grew up on his parents’ collection of classic funk/soul LPs, and broke onto the scene with his 2015 EP, DiCaprio . Soon after J. Cole signed him to Dreamville Records and he

made his major-label debut with the widely celebrated The Never Story (2017), followed quickly by the critically acclaimed album DiCaprio 2 (2018) which helped induct him to XXL’s Freshman class. His momentum continued with stellar contributions to Dreamville’s Platinum certified compilation Revenge of the Dreamers III (2019) which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 charts and received multiple GRAMMY nominations. Having collaborated with music’s biggest names, J.I.D celebrated a global hit

with “Enemy” alongside Imagine Dragons in 2021; priming fans for J.I.D’s third studio album The Forever Story . Released last year, the album was widely acclaimed and included in many “best album of the

year” lists and included a stirring live rendition on NPR’s Tiny Desk stage. The album was kicked off with first single, “Surround Sound” featuring 21 Savage and Baby Tate, and two years since its initial release the song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 charts in Fall of 2023 thanks to a viral internet trend dubbed “Surround Sound Ceiling Challenge.” The song which has now been used over half a million videos garnering over 3.5 billion views is nearing double Platinum status. His most personal project to date, The Forever Story is a celebration of storytelling and J.I.D’s ability to weave personality and prose seamlessly across infectious production. Revered for his live performance style, he has toured across the globe selling out venues and festival stages creating a wave of throbbing fans with every performance. His nimble, head-nodding lyricism and lightning fast flow has awarded J.I.D a loyal and cult-like fanbase while his dedication to perfecting the art is sportsman-like, leaving room for J.I.D to be one of rap’s greatest in the making.

About Rico Nasty Many artists change the game. However, Rico Nasty reinvents, recharges, and reimagines it with every move. Instead, the Washington, D.C.-born and Maryland-raised sonic sorceress shapeshifts at the speed of the culture, infusing airtight rap with uncontainable punk energy, hyperpop unpredictability, industrial intensity, and just the right amount of heavy metal attitude. Back in high school, she made waves with a series of independent projects before reaching critical mass with 2017’s Sugar Trap 2. On its heels, she maintained this momentum with the fan favorite Nasty in 2018. The collaborative mixtape Anger Management with Kenny Beats closed out 2019 on over a dozen year-end lists, including Complex, Dazed, Fact, The FADER, GQ, NME, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, and Vice. During 2020, her full-length debut, Nightmare Vacation, boasted the gold-certified hit “Smack A Bitch.” Peers sought her out for high-profile collaborations, including the platinum “Tia Tamera” with Doja Cat, “#PROUDCATOWNERREMIX” with the late XXXTentacion, “¡aquí yo mando!” with Kali Uchis, and more. Rico’s’s the rare outlier who can grace the cover the XXL Freshman issue or light up Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty Show as an ambassador and ignite a mosh pit. With an inimitable and influential signature style, she has reached multiplatinum status, posted up nearly 1 billion streams, and sold out countless shows. Last year she unleashed unfiltered truth with the force of a tornado through a tidal wave on Las Ruinas but from here on out Rico’s new mission is to take us back to the Sugar Trap – where it all began.

About LIHTZ Philadelphia’s Andrew Christian Howard, p/k/a “LIHTZ” is a multifaceted artist that has made a name for himself in music and television. Born in West Philly, Lihtz had a rough upbringing moving from shelter to shelter with his sickly mother. At the age of 7-years-old, Lihtz and his family moved to West Oak Lane or the “Uptown” area of Philadelphia. It was here where he made a name for himself.

Inspired by his uncle, “Big Biscuit,” who was a rapper, Lihtz wanted to follow in his footsteps and by the age of 10-years-old, he found himself in a rap group. This along with his time in church played a heavy role in the soulfulness of his music and heartfelt lyrics.  Lihtz briefly moved to Atlanta after high school to hone in on his sound. Upon moving back to Philly, Lihtz received a cosign from Gillie Da Kid (Million Dollars Worth of Game Co-host) which helped launch his music career. Featured on songs from other artists in Philadelphia, Lihtz was able to build his own catalog of street anthems. This eventually led Lihtz to be featured on “Never Lose” by Meek Mill. Since that time, Lihtz has been met with moments of tragedy and career obstacles. In 2023 Lihtz emerged with a new image and sound which pushed him in a different direction from his earlier work. The intention of wearing a mask was to force people to focus on the music while also seeing him in a new light. Lihtz dedication to personal growth birthed many songs including his current single “Serenity.” The song represents the search for substance that gives your life purpose before it's too late.

Lil Yachty Clears Up Lil Uzi Vert 'Diss' On New Song

Lil Yachty has pushed back against claims he dissed Lil Uzi Vert on a new song he premiered on Drake’s SiriusXM radio show Table For One .

The unreleased song was premiered by Drake early Friday (October 6) and it found Boat rapping, “No matter how bad they want the collab I ain’t friends with U–.”

The last part is cut off and left up for interpretation and many fans thought Uzi’s name fit the description, as fans have long been clamoring for the pair to link up since they came into the rap game around the same time looking to shift the tide.

“U guys are delusional,” Yachty wrote to Twitter. “u n-ggas go around living your life acting like u know us… shit is od weird y’all be grown men too.. on here tryna piece shit together. don’t be knowin nothing, get a job.”

However, in a since-deleted tweet, Lil Yachty confirmed they wouldn’t collab since they’re not friends, but it wasn’t a diss since he and Uzi are “cordial.”

“I didn’t diss him, i said we won’t collab because we’re not friends. we aren’t.. we are cordial. y’all r gay,” Yachty continued.

While Lil Uzi Vert fans were disappointed to hear Boat and the Philly native won’t be locking in, Uzi and Drake’s leaked “At The Gates” collab didn’t make the cut on For All The Dogs either.

As for Yachty, he made an official guest appearance on Drizzy’s new album as they connected for “Another Late Night.” Boat also provided ad-libs on “What Would Pluto Do.”

Even though Yachty has no plans of teaming up with Lil Uzi Vert, he’s still calling for Nicki Minaj to unblock him on social media.

“You know Nicki got me blocked?” Yachty said on an episode of A Safe Place . “You know what’s crazy? I’m actually a huge Nicki Minaj fan. I think she’s great.”

He continued: “And I’ma take a second in time, to — again, for maybe the third time — address Nicki. I would love for you to unblock me because I am a genuine fan.”

Lil Yachty Clarifies The Tension Between Him And Lil Uzi Vert: ‘It’s Just Competition’

https://www.instagram.com/p/BWLKf4BDzWQ/

Maybe it’s the power of positive thinking, but Lil Yachty just can’t stop winning.

He dropped his debut album, Teenage Emotion , at just 19 years old last month, lit up Jimmy Kimmel’s performance stage alongside Kyle while performing their hit “iSpy,” and now he’s landed on the cover of prestigious music magazine The Fader along with a glowing profile detailing how he is leading the youth movement in hip-hop and breaking down the status quo.

Within the piece, author Rembert Browne likens Yachty to another old-head antagonist: Lil B.

In 2011, the height of the cult of Lil B, I saw his first show in New York at Hammerstein Ballroom. At one point, after the room full of teens were done throwing their shirts, chef hats, jewelry, shoes, and even a cell phone onstage as offerings to Lil B, he knighted a kid, said “I knighted him,” and declared, “Shout out to all my dudes that got hair on they chest. Shout out to all my dudes that got hair on they butts.” At the time, the rap world was wildly divided on Lil B: Was he a shame or a shaman? Six years ago, I was firmly convinced of the latter, often laughed out of conversations with rap purists for expressing a genuine appreciation for the liberating music and movement of Lil B. And now here I was, an older skeptic of a rapper who came up on Lil B, has a framed picture of Lil B in his Atlanta home, and, while more commercially popular, is essentially Charmeleon to Lil B’s Charmander.

While Yachty was quick to acknowledge that particular comparison, in the story he also ducked the one that’s starting to be made more often between himself and Lil Uzi Vert:

I pushed him on talking about Lil Uzi Vert, for example, with whom a rivalry had been suggested in an earlier radio interview, his answer prompting a clickbait-drenched blog post suggesting there was beef. That bothered Yachty. “Me and Uzi aren’t friends,” Yachty calmly offered. “We used to be cool. It’s not beef, it’s just competition. That’s all it is. We’re not friends.” He says what’s on his mind, and he’s quite personable, eventually. Just sometimes it takes a bit for him to recharge the battery.

It’s a fascinating profile of one of the most intriguing people currently rising in hip-hop. Check out the full cover story over at Fader .

Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty and more close out Milwaukee's Summerfest with a hip-hop feast

It's only fitting that Summerfest — one of the world's largest music festivals with more than 600 performances over nine days — should end with a massive show in its biggest venue, the American Family Insurance Amphitheater.

Hip-hop superstar Lil Uzi Vert closed out the Milwaukee fest's largest stage Saturday, a noteworthy booking considering the only other place they've played this year was Coachella, and they have no other appearances scheduled this year (so far).

But with all due respect to Uzi Vert, that's not what made this show massive.

It was the incredibly stacked bill leading up to the finale, with Lil Yachty, J.I.D., Rico Nasty, LIHTZ and a thrilling Milwaukee hip-hop showcase starring breakout rappers J.P. and 414BigFrank, with surprise appearances by SteveDaStoner and Mook G, plus Milwaukee spinner Djay Mando.

In total, there were nine rappers who performed at the amphitheater Saturday. The show lasted a full five hours, with 15 minutes max between sets.

Lil Uzi Vert ends Summerfest with a wild, rare show

That said, purists will scoff at the idea of Lil Uzi Vert being considered hip-hop, and their 45-minute Summerfest set wouldn't convince them otherwise. Rapping isn't the strong suit for the rap superstar, who went for long stretches across their songs not really rapping at all — including one somewhat tedious moment where they were trying to take a selfie on a fan's phone while the DJ blasted "Fire Alarm."

But Uzi Vert's appeal is that they are a walking, (sort of) rapping embodiment of Freud's concept of Id. And what they primarily wanted to do at this rare 2024 show is rock out.

For "x2," from last year's white-knuckle "Pink Tape" album — a song that sounds a bit like a Nintendo game soundtrack on steroids — Uzi Vert jumped the barricades to hang with fans at the base of a video screen, freaking out security. During "Amped," they were so hyped up they tossed an (unlucky) fan's phone that ended up on stage some 20 feet in the air, then for subsequent song "Pop," flung a microphone across the stage in a fit of passion.

Quite a grand finale from Lil Uzi Vert @Summerfest for their only other festival booking of 2024 besides Coachella, who capped off a five-hour show featuring nine different rappers. Look for a review @journalsentinel pic.twitter.com/m1X1fO79Kb — Piet Levy (@pietlevy) July 7, 2024

Then later for a song that can aptly be described as their life's mission statement — "Do What I Want" — Uzi Vert dropped to their knees on a ramp on stage, in the center of a big ring of lights, where they were greeted with a deafening singalong. But it still wasn't loud enough for Uzi Vert, who orchestrated the crowd from their knees with waving arms, the singalong, seemingly at peak volume seconds ago, reaching greater heights.

Uzi Vert put a lot of energy onto that stage and was paid back from the crowd in kind, who supplied more electricity than even the DJ's bass-rattling song drops could muster singing and rapping along to Uzi Vert's unstoppable bangers like "20 Min" (including, for a minute, a cappella); their superstar-cementing blockbuster "XO Tour Llif3"; and their latest tsunami-level rager "Just Wanna Rock."

And while Uzi Vert's team made the curious choice to not let their set be filmed to be projected on the amphitheater's big screen, that didn't prevent the crowd way back on the bleachers from wilding out.

Lil Yachty has fun slipping into their old persona and songs

Lil Yachty has earned a reputation for being one of mainstream hip-hop's most admired weirdos, but even their recent output has managed to surprise, from last year's "Let's Start Here" album, which drastically switched up his style for a more psychedelic soul rock sound, and this year's "Bad Cameo," an often dreamy album made with Justin Vernon-loving English producer and songwriter James Blake.

"Cameo" didn't make a cameo during Yachty's nearly hourlong set, but it did begin with "Drive ME Crazy!" from "Here." But Yachty at the start of his set was surprisingly passive, the crowd, from my perspective, seemingly more excited to see Yachty than to hear Yachty take detours with newer material.

So, after a few songs, Yachty vowed to "turn this (expletive) upside down," delivering on that promise with "Slide" — a more straightforward, crowd-bouncing 2023 hip-hop track — and the audience transformed there for being happy Yachty was on stage to being thrilled to dance and rap to his music.

And that remained the mode, from both the rapper and his fans, for much of the rest of the set — aside from a touching moment when Yachty had the boisterous crowd join in a moment of silence in memory of Yachty's "Yacht Club" collaborator Juice WRLD.

If Yachty, at this stage of his artistic evolution, doesn't feel much connection with cutesy, nursery rhyme-like early hits like "Minnesota," "Broccoli" and "iSpy," he didn't show it, seemingly having as much fun vibing to those songs as his fans did nostalgically belting out their lyrics.

And while Yachty, like Uzi Vert, coasted here and there without much live rapping, he offered more than the main headliner, like an a cappella spin through "From the D to the A."

J.I.D. demonstrates superhuman spitting skills with opening set

J.I.D. accomplished the impressive feat of making Imagine Dragons seem cool in recent years with his dizzying guest verse on their hit “Enemy,” and his Summerfest set was an even greater demonstration of his superhuman skill.

His words flew so fast — but the enunciation still sticking with every syllable — that his rhymes outraced the speedy scroll of lyrics on the screen behind him for “151 Rum.” One could quibble that he announced it was his time to bounce five minutes before his set actually was supposed to end — but J.I.D. brought so much energy to thrillers like “Stick” and “Surround Sound,” and did such a good job convincing old hip-hop heads that the art of rap was in good hands, that he earned the right to hit the showers early.

Rico Nasty goes for the throat with visceral, fun set

Rico Nasty was no-nonsense for her 35-minute set, barely taking a break or talking to the crowd. But her personality was loud and clear.

Her brash, punk-inspired flow went straight for the jugular — even while it was peppered with some throat-ripping yells, eerily cutesy delivery a la early Nicki Minaj, and the occasional butt shake.

She never coasted on backing vocals either — her head-spinning delivery for “Cold” was especially fiery — and hearing her rap her signature song “Smack a (expletive)” over the beat for Ludacris’ “Move (expletive)” was an inspired flip.

LIHTZ doesn't fit bill, but makes lasting impression

On paper, LIHTZ was the most out of place of all the rappers on Saturday’s bill. While everyone else on stage had catalogs filled with high-energy bangers, the masked Philadelphia rapper specializes in softer, slower, melodic pain rap, with pensive piano and acoustic guitar the dominating sounds on “Mixed Signals” and “Serenity.” But LIHTZ was such a passionate presence on stage, with such a luminous flow — even expressed a cappella for a portion of “Broken Spirit” — that he was impossible not to like.

Milwaukee's own J.P., 414BigFrank, SteveDaStoner, Mook G, Djay Mando kick things off

Saturday’s amphitheater show at Summerfest was a celebration of some of hip-hop’s most exciting national talents — and that includes Milwaukee’s street rap scene, which has earned a place in that conversation.

For about five years, local rappers have earned hundreds of thousands, even millions, of streams for individual songs at a rapid clip. There have been record deals and glowing coverage from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and other major outlets. And Saturday, multiple buzzy Milwaukee rappers played Summerfest’s biggest stage.

Milwaukee’s premier party starter Djay Mando set the mood first, slipping in local rap gems like Munch Lauren’s “Big Money” and AyooLii’s “Schmackin Town” into his mix. Then came 414BigFrank, whose big, fun-loving personality instantly emerged for this year’s lowend breakout “Eat Her Up,” with Frank and about a quarter of the large on-stage entourage busting into some synchronized dance moves.

Unannounced special guest Mook G took the stage next for “Pay Me,” with another surprise guest, SteveDaStoner, rapping by his side. Stoner essentially has become the mascot for Milwaukee’s rap scene — and a popular guy eager for a selfie roaming the stages through the fest this year — and when he took over the set for his signature banger “RWS,” it was clear how Ludacris could have charmed enough by the guy to join him for a viral “free concert” stunt at 3rd Street Market Hall last month.

J.P., effortlessly translating the charm and charisma from his TikToks to a big stage, closed out this 25-minute Milwaukee rap party — a fitting choice considering none other than Lil Uzi Vert was the first famous rapper to endorse the Milwaukee rapper following his debut lowend single “Juicey Ahhh.” Alas, it didn’t make the set, but J.P. has since had an even bigger smash, “Bad Bitty” — arguably the biggest song ever from a Milwaukee-based rapper, with more than 19 million Spotify streams and counting. You better believe even the people toward the back of the amphitheater rapped “Bad Bitty” back to J.P. at the top of their lungs.

To see the scene celebrated on the biggest stage of Milwaukee’s biggest festival was a joyful achievement after years of unprecedented accomplishments. Here’s hoping it marks the first chapter of an exciting new beginning.

Let’s Start Here.

Quality Control / Motown

February 1, 2023

At a surprise listening event last Thursday,  Lil Yachty   introduced his new album  Let’s Start Here. , an unexpected pivot, with a few words every rap fan will find familiar: “I really wanted to be taken seriously as an artist, not just some SoundCloud rapper or some mumble rapper.” This is the speech rappers are obligated to give when it comes time for the drum loop to take a backseat to guitars, for the rapping to be muted in favor of singing, for the ad-libs to give it up to the background singers, and for a brigade of white producers with plaque-lined walls to be invited into the fold. 

Rap fans, including myself, don’t want to hear it, but the reality is that in large slices of music and pop culture, “rapper” is thrown around with salt on the tongue. Pop culture is powerfully influenced by hip-hop, that is until the rappers get too close and the hands reach for the pearls. If anything, the 25-year-old Yachty—as one of the few rappers of his generation able to walk through the front door anyway because of his typically Gushers-sweet sound and innocently youthful beaded braid look—might be the wrong messenger. 

What’s sour about Yachty’s statement isn’t the idea that he wants to be taken seriously as an artist, but the question of  who  he wants to be taken seriously by. When Yachty first got on, a certain corner of rap fandom saw his marble-mouthed enunciation and unwillingness to drool over hip-hop history as symbols of what was ruining the genre they claimed to love. A few artists more beholden to tradition did some finger-wagging— Pete Rock and  Joe Budden ,  Vic Mensa and  Anderson .Paak , subliminals from  Kendrick and  Cole —but that was years ago, and by now they’ve found new targets. These days, Yachty is respected just fine within rap. If he weren’t, his year-long rebirth in the Michigan rap scene, which resulted in the good-not-great  Michigan Boy Boat , would have been viewed solely as a cynical attempt to boost his rap bona fides. His immersion there felt earnest, though, like he was proving to himself that he could hang. 

The respect Yachty is chasing on  Let’s Start Here. feels institutional. It’s for the voting committees, for the suits; for  Questlove to shout him out as  the future , for Ebro to invite him  back on his radio show and say  My bad, you’re dope.  Never mind if you thought Lil Yachty was dope to start with: The goal of this album is to go beyond all expectations and rules for rappers.

And the big pivot is… a highly manicured and expensive blend of  Tame Impala -style psych-rock, A24 synth-pop, loungey R&B, and  Silk Sonic -esque funk, a sound so immediately appealing that it doesn’t feel experimental at all. In 2020, Yachty’s generational peers,  Lil Uzi Vert and  Playboi Carti , released  Eternal Atake and  Whole Lotta Red : albums that pushed forward pre-existing sounds to the point of inimitability, showcases not only for the artists’ raps but their conceptual visions. Yachty, meanwhile, is working within a template that is already well-defined and commercially successful. This is what the monologue was for? 

To Yachty’s credit, he gives the standout performance on a crowded project. It’s the same gift for versatility that’s made him a singular rapper: He bounces from style to style without losing his individuality. A less interesting artist would have been made anonymous by the polished sounds of producers like  Chairlift ’s Patrick Wimberly,  Unknown Mortal Orchestra ’s Jacob Portrait, and pop songwriters Justin and Jeremiah Raisen, or had their voice warped by writing credits that bring together  Mac DeMarco ,  Alex G , and, uh,  Tory Lanez . The production always leans more indulgent than thrilling, more scattershot than conceptual. But Yachty himself hangs onto the ideas he’s been struggling to articulate since 2017’s  Teenage Emotions : loneliness, heartbreak, overcoming failure. He’s still not a strong enough writer to nail them, and none of the professionals collecting checks in the credits seem to have been much help, but his immensely expressive vocals make up for it. 

Actually, for all the commotion about the genre jump on this project, the real draw is the ways in which Yachty uses Auto-Tune and other vocal effects as tools to unlock not just sounds but emotion. Building off the vocal wrinkle introduced on last year’s viral moment “ Poland ,” where he sounds like he’s cooing through a ceiling fan, the highlights on  Let’s Start Here. stretch his voice in unusual directions. The vocals in the background of his wistful hook on “pRETTy” sound like he’s trying to harmonize while getting a deep-tissue massage. His shrill melodies on “paint THE sky” could have grooved with  the Weeknd on  Dawn FM . The opening warble of “running out of time” is like Yachty’s imitation of  Bruno Mars imitating  James Brown , and the way he can’t quite restrain his screechiness enough to flawlessly copy it is what makes it original.

Too bad everything surrounding his unpredictable and adventurous vocal detours is so conventional. Instrumental moments that feel like they’re supposed to be weird and psychedelic—the hard rock guitar riff that coasts to a blissful finale in “the BLACK seminole.” or the slow build of “REACH THE SUNSHINE.”—come off like half-measures.  Diana Gordon ’s falsetto-led funk on “drive ME crazy!” reaches for a superhuman register, but other guest appearances, like  Fousheé ’s clipped lilts on “pRETTy” and  Daniel Caesar ’s faded howls on the outro, are forgettable. None of it is ever  bad : The synths on “sAy sOMETHINg” shimmer; the drawn-out intro and outro of “WE SAW THE SUN!” set the lost, trippy mood they’re supposed to; “THE zone~” blooms over and over again, underlined by  Justine Skye ’s sweet and unhurried melodies. It’s all so easy to digest, so pitch-perfect, so safe.  Let’s Start Here. clearly and badly wants to be hanging up on those dorm room walls with  Currents and  Blonde and  IGOR . It might just work, too. 

Instead, consider this album a reminder of how limitless rap can be. We’re so eager for the future of the genre to arrive that current sounds are viewed as restricting and lesser. But rap is everything you can imagine. I’m thinking about “Poland,” a song stranger than anything here: straight-up 1:23 of chaos, as inventive as it is fun. I took that track as seriously as anything I heard last year because it latches onto a simple rap melody and pushes it to the brink. Soon enough, another rapper will hear that and take it in another direction, then another will do the same. That’s how you really get to the future.

By now we’re all familiar with J. Cole ’s shots at the “amateur eight week” rappers in his video for “Everybody Dies” released with his Eyez documentary. But in case you missed what the “lil whatever” rappers had to say in response to his low blows, don’t worry, like an insurance agency, we got you covered.

Continuing the tradition of the “Lil” prefix, hails in two of the most relevant Lil’s in the game today: Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Yachty .

Ahead Of His ‘Surprise’ Album, J.Cole Drops ‘Eyez’ Documentary

Lil Uzi either didn’t take the dig to heart or was trying to avoid beef with “Young Simba” by taking to Twitter to declare that Cole’s new music was nothing less than beautiful.

Lil Yachty, on the other hand, expressed a polar opposite sentiment to his fellow “micro” spitter. The “Minnesota” rapper only listened to the new track because it was “flooding [his] sh*t,” as he reveals he doesn’t bump Cole in his headphones. The ATL native doesn’t believe the 4 Your Eyez Only rapper is even referring to him, claiming he’s not little in size. Whether Cole is referencing Yachty, Uzi, or some unknown infantile-sized rapper, Yachty declares that “Honestly, [he] doesn’t give a f**k.”

Lil Yachty Recants His Statement About Notorious B.I.G. Being “Overrated”

Check out his reaction with The Cruz Show in the video below.

Did Lil Yachty Diss Lil Uzi Vert? Alleged Uncensored Leak Says Yes

For the most part, Lil Yachty manages to stay out of the drama surrounding him in the music industry . Like any famous person, though, he can't totally avoid controversy. Earlier this month, the Georgia-born lyricist was accused of throwing shade at fellow rapper Lil Uzi Vert . The rumours began after Yachty debuted a new song on Drake 's Table For One Sirius XM radio show. It included some eyebrow-raising bars that were censored to shield the target's name from listening ears.

"No matter how bad they want the collab, I ain't friends with U–," the version that was played on air goes. When hip-hop heads took to Twitter to insinuate that Lil Boat could be shading the "Just Wanna Rock" hitmaker, he defensively shot back at them. "[You] guys are delusional," Yachty told internet sleuths at the time. "[You] ni**as go around living your life acting like [you] know us," he further ranted. "S**t is od weird, y’all be grown men too... On here tryna piece s**t together, don’t be knowin' nothing. Get a job."

Lil Yachty's Alleged LUV Diss Surfaces Online

However, on Tuesday (October 17) afternoon, an alleged snippet of the same song – without the name censoring – began circulating. In the video above, Yachty clearly sings Uzi's name before the 10-second mark (if the leak if legit, that is). "And he was fighting for his life saying he didn't diss [them] 😂😂," one Twitter user laughed while pointing out the irony. "This could be AI, right?" another person speculated. We don't have clear answers just yet, but it likely won't be long until the "Act Up" writer speaks on the situation.

The rumours of beef between Lil Yachty and LUV from earlier this month were quickly overshadowed that same weekend by gossip about a potential marriage between the Philadelphia native and City Girl JT. We still don't know the exact status of their relationship, but a noteworthy change to her IG profile gave us an interesting hint. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

They Came From SoundCloud: Lil Uzi Vert and the 6 Rappers Who Could Be Rock Stars

Meet the next stars crossing over from rap to rock, and from SoundCloud to Billboard.

Last year, Lil Yachty , rap’s biggest crossover star in 2016, went from being a teenage rapper from Atlanta who idolized fashion figures like Zeus Trappin and Ian Connor to palling with LeBron James in Sprite ads and becoming the new creative director of Nautica . But before all that, he was just throwing songs onto SoundCloud, where they got mere thousands of plays until, suddenly, that became millions. And now Lil Uzi Vert, from Philadelphia by way of Atlanta, has a current Billboard Top 10 single with “ XO Tour Llif3 ,” which first dropped as part of a four-song SoundCloud playlist Luv Is Rage 1.5 in February, before its massive streaming numbers (over 70 million plays) lifted it up toward the top of the charts.

Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, and the rest of their millennial rap wave (which includes Playboi Carti ) have been dismissed as “SoundCloud rappers,” an attempt by the hip-hop establishment to pigeonhole them as frivolous or, worse, not “real” hip-hop. This diss might’ve meant something in 1993 or even 2008, but Uzi and his peers are just fine not being part of the hip-hop community. In fact, Uzi, whom Vulture compared to Kurt Cobain today, consistently refers to himself as a “rockstar,” and even uploaded and tagged his music on SoundCloud, provocatively, as “Alternative Rock.”

In short, this wave is just starting to crest. Here, a short list of six artists who have already mastered a distinctive musical and visual aesthetic that stands out among so many SoundCloud pretenders. Look out for them now—and not necessarily on the “rap” charts.

Only in the 2010s does Lil Peep become a rapper. If his career started in the 80’s, 90’s, or even 2007, he’d be praying for a Warped Tour slot. Instead, the singer moved out to Los Angeles, discovered the world of SoundCloud rap, and used that as his model of musical inspiration. He performs live with a DJ, but he doesn’t rap as much as emote at the crowd, who are eager and ready to perform his catalog back to him. Earlier this year, Lil Peep, speaking with Pitchfork about his own position in rap, said: “No one’s ever been in this genre before, so I couldn’t really compare it to anything from the past. I’m excited to find out.” Such boldness could be read as arrogance, but he’s selling out shows and getting major industry attention, so perhaps he’s right to trust his instincts.

A Miami native, Lil Pump offers a brief career origin story on his self-titled song : “My momma said Lil Pump won’t be shit.” The song currently sits with over four million plays, which at least serves to prove momma wrong, somewhat. That bratty deficiency defines much of Pump’s music—he wields a nasally voice and instinctual bounce that makes his tracks feel like someone already put it on repeat before the first verse even finishes. “Flex Like Ouu,” one of his best tracks, blows by in a two minutes and bops more with an energy that feels less rap, more basement hardcore band.

Much like his musical brother Lil Peep, Lil Tracy needs giant scare quotes around his being designated a “rapper.” His music often consists of downtrodden reflections on old relationships or head-over-heels heart-eyed emoji odes. While Lil Peep stands out with samples that read like an emo Myspace band’s Top 8 friends, Lil Tracy can do that style, but also relishes in the frantic giddiness of a “ Checkmate King Me .” That fluidity is one of the trademarks of this style of SoundCloud music, where genre lines are completely disregarded. Lil Tracy and Lil Peep can do 90’s post-grunge (“Dying Out West”), but also interpolate old-school Travis Porter (“In Dis Bish”), because neither them or their fans see any distinction between them.

The performer Russ opened up to Billboard earlier this year about the road he’s taken to success: “I’ve been making beats for 10 years and before I even had a Soundcloud I dropped 11 self-produced albums and that’s the narrative that I really want people to understand.” Of all of these artists, Russ’s particular SoundCloud is the best curated, with every new song he drops featuring a bold minimalist design for his music that straddles the lines between rap and R&B. There is nothing lo-fi or messy about his music, which is why he’s slowly transitioned from SoundCloud into radio. Artists like Drake jump easily between genres, and Russ to his credit on a highlight like “For The Stunt” has the swagger of a college kid , but with the machismo of a R&B star.

Ski Mask The Slump God

Interestingly, even if this school of artists can be traced back to Soundcloud URLs and Instagram memes, Florida remains the IRL home for many. Ski Mask The Slump God, who is from Broward County, oscillates between bratty rap songs and mosh-inducing punk rock. This musical 180 is unified by lo-fi, distorted production that blurs the line between a rock sample and a Nintendo 64 sample being put through a cheese grater. He perfected that contrast on a remix of Lil Wayne’s “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy,” which is an aggressive, near metalcore cover of the original.

The Berkeley-based rapper Lil B won a rather large cult following in the early 2010s not because of his rap ability but by way of his personality, constant output of music, “based” lifestyle and memorable lines like “Thank You Based God.” Ugly God, who hails from Houston, like many of this new generation of performers, cherry-picks from the Based God template. “Let’s Do It,” a standout track from last summer, featured fellow internet superstars Trill Sammy and Famous Dex, and Ugly God’s plodding imitation of trap production feels like a parallel universe’s vision of Atlanta trap. That inversion of hip-hop tropes is what made Lil B so beloved, and why his descendent Ugly God can rise above the crowd.

Lil Yachty Says He Didn’t Diss Lil Uzi in Song Played on Drake’s Radio Show, Calls Grown Men ‘Gay’ for Speculating

Lil Yachty wrote in since-deleted tweets that “grown men” are delusional for trying to force a beef between them.

In a series of tweets shared on Friday, Oct. 6, Lil Yachty has shut down claims he dissed Lil Uzi Vert in a new song premiered on Drake's OVO Sound Radio.

"U guys r so delusional," wrote Yachty in a tweet that has since been deleted. "U n***as go around living your life acting like u know us... shit is od weird y'all be grown men too... on here tryna piece shit together. don't be knowin nothing, get a job."

One person retweeted the comment and added, "rappers will clearly diss another rapper publicly & backpedal when they get called out on it." Yachty responded in another since-deleted comment. "I didn't diss him, I said we won't collab because we're not friends," Yachty wrote. "We aren't... we are cordial. Y'all r gay."

Speculation regarding issues between Yachty and Uzi kicked off after the OVO Sound Radio show included a laid-back track in which Lil Boat appears to say he's not friends with the Pink Tape artist. "Do the right thing like you're friends with Mookie," he raps in the unreleased track. "No matter how bad they want the collab I ain't friends with," he continues, trailing off with a line that seemingly alludes to Lil Uzi Vert.

The two rappers have only collaborated on the XXL Freshman Cypher in 2016 and a remix for HoodRich Pablo Juan's "Zobamambafoo" in 2017. Outside of that, there's no indication they have any sort of working relationship. However, Yachty insists they're "cordial," and the reference in the track is just a playful teasing of fans who want to see them hop on a song together.

First Lil Uzi Vert, Now Another Fashion-Obsessed Rapper Tries Out Those Louis Vuitton Earbuds

When Louis Vuitton announced its own version of wireless earbuds (they’re essentially a luxury version of those Apple AirPods), Lil Uzi Vert , ever the trendsetter, was the first to try them out. He wore the French fashion house from head to toe, and if you weren’t looking closely, you could have easily missed the iconic monogram sitting prettily in his ears.

Now, Lil Yachty is the latest rapper to hop on the designer earbud trend. Earlier today, Yachty posted a video to his Instagram that shows off the new wearable tech (which retail for a whopping $995, by the way)—but somehow that’s the least extravagant part of the clip. He also boasts about his private jet, which he claims he doesn’t even need, moisturizes with coconut oil, and even points out the man that he’s hired to carry his colorful Louis Vuitton luggage. He summed it all up concisely, proclaiming, “Black boy joy,” as he continued to rub the coconut oil into his hands. It’s unquestionably an excessive flex, but Yachty’s definitely earned it.
