Lil Uzi Vert signs deal with Roc Nation and shares two new songs
Lil Uzi Vert is beginning a new chapter by signing a deal with Roc Nation. Following the announcement, the rapper has shared two new songs.
Following their departure from Atlantic Records, Uzi has signed to Roc Nation Distribution and will also be managed by Roc Nation.
They join Jay-Z and Rihanna as the only artists to be signed and managed by Hov’s entertainment company.
In a statement, Roc Nation Distribution President Krystian Santini told Complex, “Uzi is a global icon and a dynamic force in the music industry, so we’re thrilled to work together with them in this new capacity.”
He continued, “Our partnership is centered around empowering Uzi to continue building their legacy, with full creative control and the resources to take their artistry to new heights.”
To coincide with the deal, Uzi shared not one, but two new songs titled ‘Chanel Boy’ and ‘Relevant’. The first track is produced by ZeeGoinXrazy, while the other is produced by Rima Thugger, Argenis ‘Trilla’ Peguero and 1600trill.
On ‘Chanel Boy’, Uzi raps, “I don’t even sleep, I don’t even eat, Chanel on my feet, Chanel when I geek/ Chanel on the beach, Chanel on the beach/ Every day of the week, I know Chanaynay ain’t cheap.”
Uzi released their final album on Atlantic, Eternal Atake 2, in November 2024. The sequel to their 2020 project peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 chart with 59,000 units in its first week.
Between 2017 and 2024, Uzi released all four of their solo albums, Luv Is Rage 2, Eternal Atake, Pink Tape, and Eternal Atake 2, on Atlantic. Last year’s project was his first one not to reach the number one spot.
