Lil Uzi Vert

Symere Bysil Woods ( sy-MEER BY-səl;, known professionally as Lil Uzi Vert, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. Known for their eclectic fashion style and genre-blending music, they are considered an influential figure in contemporary hip-hop.

Symere Woods emerged from Philadelphia's underground in 2016 with a sound that refused easy categorization—blending SoundCloud rap's melodic fragility with production from Pi'erre Bourne that felt simultaneously trap and experimental. *Luv Is Rage 2* established him as emo-rap's most uncompromising voice, a position he'd cement across the *Eternal Atake* universe and beyond, all while maintaining the kind of peer relationships that defined a generation: tight with Young Thug on both records and fashion, frequently crossing paths with Playboi Carti during the *Die Lit* era, and connected to A Boogie wit da Hoodie through their shared Bronx-Philly lineage.
