Lil Uzi Vert has taken a pivotal step in their career by partnering with ROC Nation Distribution for the release of their latest track, “Chanel Boy”, produced by ZeeGoinXrazy.

This move marks a transition to operating as an independent artist, granting the Grammy-nominated performer full ownership of their masters. Through this collaboration, Uzi joins an elite group of artists like Jay-Z and Rihanna, being both managed by Roc Nation and signed with ROC Nation Distribution.

Krystian Santini, President of ROC Nation Distribution, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership:“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.”

Adding,“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.”

Lil Uzi Vert had been under contract with Atlantic Records since 2017, originally through the label’s Philly-based Generation Now imprint. This partnership experienced some public controversies, including hackers leaking music. The rapper’s latest album with the label was 2024’s “Eternal Atake 2.”

The rapper’s latest album, “Eternal Atake 2”, debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 last November. Since then, the artist has maintained a low profile, appearing only as a guest on Don Toliver’s 2024 album
“HARDSTONE PSYCHO” and dropping a brief 29-second track titled “Uzi The Earthling! (TV Show Theme).”
