Lil Uzi Vert Launches Independent Era With Roc Nation, Drops ‘Chanel Boy’ and ‘Relevant’

The arrangement keeps Uzi independent with full masters ownership and places them alongside Jay-Z and Rihanna at Roc Nation.

Overview

  • Uzi signed distribution and publishing deals with Roc Nation that explicitly preserve full ownership of their masters while operating independently.
  • The move ends their Atlantic/Generation Now run, which concluded with Eternal Atake 2 in November 2024 debuting at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
  • Uzi released two songs with visuals: “Chanel Boy,” produced by ZeeGoinXrazy and shot around New York City, and “Relevant,” produced by Trillion, Rima, and Trilla.
  • “Relevant” features lines widely read as a response to Nine Vicious after months of back‑and‑forth, reinforcing the project’s relaunch narrative.
  • After “Chanel Boy” surpassed one million YouTube views, Uzi teased more music on Instagram, thanking fans and referencing Cor(e) in the post.
