Lil Uzi Vert's actual breakthrough wasn't even their own song — it was a feature on Migos' 'Bad and Boujee' in 2016 that hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 before Uzi had a chart-topping single of their own. 'XO Tour Llif3' fixed that soon after, becoming the song most people now think of as their signature, and the lead single off Luv Is Rage 2, their 2017 debut album.
That album, Eternal Atake in 2020, and Pink Tape in 2023 have all opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — three chart-topping albums from a North Philadelphia rapper whose whole sound traces back to a strange combination of Marilyn Manson and 808s & Heartbreak-era Kanye, filtered through the same lineage as Young Thug and Chief Keef.
