Ahead of the NFC championship game, Lil Uzi Vert performed “Just Wanna Rock” leading the Philadelphia Eagles on the field. The spot, along with many other Philly moments, was normally reserved for Meek Mill’s “Dreams & Nightmares,” but DJ Drama says it’s over for that.
Uzi is aligned with DJ Drama’s Generation Now, so it’s not a surprise to hear him say it.
“You did see Lil Uzi Vert bring out the Eagles to victory against the 49ers with ‘I Just Wanna Rock,’” Drama said. “I think it’s fair to say ‘I Just Wanna Rock,’ with all due respect, has replaced ‘Dreams & Nightmares’ as the new anthem of Philadelphia and the new anthem of the Philadelphia Eagles this year.”

DJ Drama doesn’t think Meek Mill’s iconic Dreams & Nightmares intro has the same grip on Philadelphia as it once did. This week, the iconic Gangsta Grillz DJ caught up with TMZ following the Eagles’ win on Sunday. As the team marched out with Lil Uzi Vert at the front of their parade, the rapper’s single, “Just Wanna Rock” blared through the speaker system. As a result, Drama thinks Uzi’s “Just Wanna Rock” replaced Meek Mill’s “Dreams & Nightmares” intro as the official anthem of Philadelphia right now.
“I think it’s fair to say that ‘I Just Wanna Rock’ has replaced — with all due respect — ‘Dreams and Nightmares’ as the new anthem of Philadelphia. As the new anthem of the Philadelphia Eagles this year,” Drama said. “I’m looking forward to hearing that song many, many times [during] Super Bowl weekend.”
It might be an overreach to say that it’s replaced “Dreams & Nightmares.” After the Eagles won on Sunday, videos emerged of Meek Mill’s hit record playing through the Philadephia streets. Meek was incredibly excited after the Eagles win, as well. He later offered to perform at a club for free to celebrate the victory.
“Just Wanna Rock” appears to be the launching point of Uzi’s long-awaited project, Pink Tape. Earlier this month, Uzi came through with a high-energy performance of the single at the Apollo Theater for Drake’s show. Perhaps, we could see a new single drop sometime soon.
The rapper hinted at the release of Pink Tape last year before he dropped off Red + White. He hasn’t provided a clear release date on the project, though he indicated that it would drop in February. Considering the momentum that “Just Wanna Rock” built in recent times, it feels like February is a better time than any for the follow-up to Eternal Atake.
A Philly hometown hero joined the Philadelphia Eagles as they walked out into the stadium yesterday (January 29): Kicking off the NFC Championship game in which the Eagles took on the San Francisco 49ers, Lil Uzi Vert walked out with the Eagles as their hit single “Just Wanna Rock” played throughout.

Perhaps Uzi proved to be a good luck charm for the Eagles, as they ended up beating the 49ers 31 to 7. Next month, the Eagles will take on the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LVII. That game will take place on Sunday, February 12, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The game will broadcast live on Fox at 6:30 p.m. ET.
Uzi has always held their hometown close to their heart. Last year, during an interview with Jazzy’s World, they said that without Philly, there would be no Uzi: “I was always around a very different crowd, very diverse. […] It just made me who I am today and I really took from it. If it wasn’t for Philly, I wouldn’t be Uzi.”
Check out the clips of Uzi’s NFC Championship walkout with the Eagles above.

Bouba Savage is making a major statement with the release of his debut project, It’s Amazing.
Following a string of viral releases, Bouba Savage came through with It’s Amazing this week. Marking his debut project, the 12-song effort is a concise and strong effort that further showcases his range and versatility. He’ll dive into the sample-based drill sound with aggression, then peels pack the gritty delivery for a more melodic sound. It’s Amazing boasts several previously released singles such as “Baby Goat,” “Bag I Know,” and “Ain’t Care.”
His new project also delivers a string of excellent collaborations. Lil Uzi Vert joins forces with Bouba on the bubbly, “Win A Lot”; Icewear Vezzo assists on disco-drill banger “Made It Off Rapping.” Then, there are a number of appearances from some of NYC’s drill artists like Sha EK, B-Lovee, and CJ Goon.
Overall, It’s Amazing is a promising effort that showcases the bright future ahead of Bouba Savage. Last year, the rapper inked a deal with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s Highbridge Tha Label, who released It’s Amazing. Evidently, Highbridge currently has one of the most promising new artists to emerge out of New York City in recent times. It’s quite clear by the cover art itself, which immortalizes the infamous moment at Yams Day when A$AP Rocky threw Bouba Savage off of the stage. Considering how young Bouba is, as well, he’s undoubtedly only beginning to get his feet wet.
Hopefully, this isn’t the last we hear from Bouba Savage this year. Press play on his new project below and sound off in the comments with your thoughts on his new effort.
Lil Uzi Vert is riding the high of their hit “Just Wanna Rock” which soundtracked a Jumbotron dance battle at a 76ers game and sold over a million units before the end of 2022. “Never let them get in Your head BE YOU,” the rapper wrote on their Instagram Story to celebrate.
Now, Uzi showed off a new hairstyle and face piercings in a picture that’s circulating social media. Jewels Parlor Piercing Studio confirmed that they gave Uzi six new piercings earlier this month. Fans are pointing out the scene-kid vibes of the photo — especially with the Rolling Stones beanie — and it’s making people nostalgic for the Myspace era.
Uzi recently announced that they’ll be heading on a 20-city headlining tour produced by Live Nation beginning in March. It’ll be their first tour in six years, and fans are hoping Uzi’s highly anticipated third major-label album The Pink Tape is coming soon after many delays: “But I’m taking my time so it won’t suck,” they explained.
Along with the success of “Just Wanna Rock,” Uzi also teamed up with Fousheé in November of last year for “Spend The Money,” a track from her debut album Softcore. The song also came with a luxurious music video full of dancing and poker.
