20 of the Best Lyrics From Lil Uzi Vert’s ‘Luv Is Rage 2′ Album
The past few years in rap have seen a changing of the guard, where more lyrical rappers who were considered to be the voice of the youth have now aged into men among boys, leaving space for a new crop of upstarts to flourish. However, in contrast to their predecessors, who relied on conceptual brilliance, refined lyricism and cult followings among rap purists, these new voices draw on their energy, emotion and aesthetic to draw in the listener, one of the more popular among this set being Lil Uzi Vert.
Hailing from Philadelphia, Lil Uzi Vert's music may be a far cry from more cerebral work from the likes of his hometown elder brethren The Roots, Beanie Sigel and others, however, he is arguably the city's biggest rap star at the moment and has built a track record of hits that is hard to deny. Discovered by Don Cannon, who inked the rapper to his Generation Now imprint, Lil Uzi Vert came to prominence with the release of his 2015 mixtape, Luv Is Rage, but it would be his follow-up project, Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World, that would put the spotlight squarely on his dreads.
Garnering the hit singles "Money Longer" and "You Were Right," Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World was deemed one of the hottest mixtapes of 2016, helping him earn a slot on 2016 XXL Freshman cover, while gradually widening his fan base. Since then, his buzz has only increased, with Uzi scoring his first chart-topping hit after appearing on Migos' "Bad and Boujee," only to build on that momentum with his single, "XO Tour Llif3," which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his most successful solo single to date.
With the anticipation for his next at a fever pitch, Lil Uzi Vert unleashes his latest project, Luv Is Rage 2, the long-awaited sequel to his breakout mixtape. With the lone guest appearances being Pharrell Williams and The Weeknd, Luv Is Rage 2 allows Lil Uzi Vert to take center stage and captivate the listeners on his own merit, resulting in another display of Uzi's infectious melodies and effortless star power.
XXL gave Luv Is Rage 2 a spin and collected 20 of the hottest lyrics from the project that are sure to impress.
