Lil Uzi Vert is one of the bright faces coming up in hip-hop. The North Philly native’s rapid fire delivery fits his stage name perfectly. It’s as if every bar flies out his mouth a 100 miles a sec. Backed by industry mainstays like Don Cannon and DJ Drama, the once wild child turned rapper is now trying to take trap music to another level. His scene stealing verse on Carnage’s “WDYW” began to turn heads, and after proclaiming his love for Dej Loaf on wax and his electric SXSW performances, people want to know who Uzi Vert is. Well, you’ve come to the right place.—Emmanuel C.M.
