After years of hard work and dedication to his craft, Lil Uzi Vert has been welcomed into the Roc Nation family. As of this week, the XO Tour Llif3 mastermind’s name and photo have been added to the roster on the imprint’s official website.
Rumors of a Roc Nation deal started to surface after Uzi thanked the label during one of his recent Instagram Stories.
“Back in the studio,” he wrote. “Thank you @rocnation. Free Uzi,” a reminder he still wants to be released from his contract with Generation Now — his record label headed by DJ Drama and Don Cannon.
Roc Nation’s Instagram account quickly shared the sentiment.
In January, Uzi announced he was done with music altogether following frustrations with his label situation. He claimed he’d scrapped the highly delayed Eternal Atake album and was walking away from his career.
“You think I don’t wanna drop music?” he explained in an Instagram Live session. “You just gotta understand when people don’t love you, they’ll hold your life if you sign a muthafuckin’ … Hold that shit against you.”
But, it’s possible the album will still see the light of day. On Sunday (March 24), Drama tweeted Uzi can release the album “any day he wants.” Now, with this new Roc Nation deal, hopefully his fans will get what they’ve been waiting for soon.
First gayboy joining the roc
cry harder lmao
OH MY GOD,NOOOO!!!
Didn’t he retire and delete all his music like a month ago?
Jay z is a piece of shit! I can’t believe rock sign lil loser to a contract. His hip hop card has been revoked. Jay z doesn’t love the music. He just loves the money only.
Shut the fuck up.
U must be a fan of lil talent. Don’t be mad because dude is horrible. How can u like such bullshit? U are new to the rap game right. Your a lil kid that gets excited over weak rhymes. I bet u can write better songs than him.
Lyricism quality of Uzi isn’t moving, but often the rest is there. Buy it, alone time, grab the wheel, are a few top tracks. He’s a talent who needs to avoid a pitfall or two, namely writing quality content more than on a handful of tracks. But quality tracks he has, quantity of missed tracks is quite notable.

This is hip hop music. If u can’t write dope lines, then why u a rapper. Reality rappers and their fans need to sit the fuck down. That’s why golden era fans do not like this bullshit on the market.
Since jay z signing everybody and handing out caps he might as well sign Djf. One stupid motherfulcer may be an ok comedian someday
Ever since Eminem murdered him on his own shit years ago, Hov hasn’t been the same since. Now he’s helping out mumble rappers, smh. At least Nas signs real talent to his label.
eat a pickle and get some rest old man
Hahaaa, excellent! ? ..you literally pulled up the chair for him to sit down on, ?.
