After previously teasing it on TikTok, Lil Uzi Vert has dropped off their new single “Just Wanna Rock.”
The single previously blew up on the social media platform, earning over 500 million views in just three weeks. “Just Wanna Rock” comes on the heels of Uzi releasing Red & White this past summer, which was the rapper’s first full-length offering since November 2020, when they joined forces with Future for the collaborative Pluto x Baby Pluto project.
The EP also marked the first solo project from the Philly artist—who has begun using they/them pronouns—since they dropped Eternal Atake and Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2 back to back in March 2020.
In a recent interview for “Jazzy’s World TV,” Uzi credited their hometown with influencing their signature style.
“My experiences in Philadelphia, the way it helped mold me into who I am today is it was a very, like, I was always around a very different crowd, very diverse, so I would be around my friends, you know, where some would call the hood, and I would be with my friends in the suburbs and it just made me who I am today…if it wasn’t for Philly, I wouldn’t be Uzi.”
