Originally having grown up in North Philadelphia’s Francisville   
   neighborhood, Lil Uzi Vert is the only one in his immediate musical circle   
   that is not from Atlanta — but he couldn’t sound more at home over   
   Wheezy’s operatic piano riffs and    
   speaker-stretching 808 rumble. The appeal of his style is not unlike a   
   teenaged Lil Wayne, reminiscent of his vocal tone and penchant for melody.   
      
   In the past year, Lil Uzi Vert has experienced a meteoric rise. April 2016’s   
   "Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World" featured his biggest hit to date, and set the   
   pace for July’s "The Perfect Luv Tape", a tightly edited project that   
   featured “Do What I Want,†  
   � a song that was prominently featured in a Jordan brand sneaker commercial in   
   October. During this time, he also released a collaborative EP with Gucci   
   Mane, which included a bevy of individual singles, and notched some 33   
   features in the press, all    
   while touring consistently. SoundCloud crowned him their most followed artist   
   of 2016, and during the second week of 2017, he achieved his first No. 1 on   
   the Billboard Hot 100, thanks to a guest verse on Migos’s “Bad and   
   Boujee.â€�   
      
   And just last week Iggy Azalea released the hit single “Can’t Loseâ€�   
   featuring Lil Uzi Vert himself.   
      
   Missing Link Music is ecstatic about adding this new up-and-coming talent to   
   its esteemed roster.
