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.

Teenage Drill Sensation Bouba Savage Releases His Debut Project “It’s Amazing”

by

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 Shows Off An Edgy New Hairstyle And Face Piercings And It’s Making People Nostalgic

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.

Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Gunna & Wheezy Sued Over “Strawberry Peels”: Report

According to TMZ, Sun City Publishing filed a lawsuit against Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Gunna, and the song’s producer, Wheezy, on claims that they stole the sample from the group Blackout’s 1995 single, “Dim Da Lights.” Atlantic Records and Generation Now are also named in the lawsuit.

Sun City claims no one reached out to them to authorize the use of “Dim Da Lights” on “Strawberry Peels.” However, the “Just Wanna Rock” rapper’s song reached 39M Spotify streams and 4M YouTube streams. Sun City said the song likely generated upwards of $1M in revenue, which they’re now seeking in damages.

So far, none of the involved parties have publicly commented on the lawsuit. “Strawberry Peels” appeared on the 2020 deluxe edition of Eternal Atake, also known as Lil Uzi Vert Vs. The World 2.

Meanwhile, Lil Uzi Vert’s continued to tease the release of his forthcoming Pink Tape. After blessing fans with Red & White last summer, the Philly rapper recently offered an update on the follow-up to Eternal Atake. An alleged leak convo with Lil Uzi hit timelines this week, revealing the project would drop in February. There’s no confirmation that it’s true but we hope that it is.

We’ll keep you posted on any more updates on Pink Tape. Check out the two songs below and let us know your thoughts.

City Girls’ JT Would Stay With Lil Uzi Vert If He Ever Went To Jail

City Girls’ JT and Lil Uzi Vert have been dating for quite a while, and the Miami rapper recently confirmed she’s willing to wait for her beau if things went south. During a recent conversation with Raymonte, he asked JT if she would still be with Uzi if they went to jail for ten years.

“Um…10 years. Yeah. 10 years not really that long. I did 15 [months].” JT said, laughing and jokingly referencing her own time in prison. “You want some drama.”

The couple has been together since 2019.

“I love you uzi,” JT wrote for Uzi’s birthday back in July. “I’m crying making this post because you are literally a dream come true! I feel like with everything I been through in life you are one of my greatest rewards! I wake up every day to either your frown or smile …either works for me, as long as you’re right there.

Uzi has returned the sentiment toward JT. They opened up in a 2021 interview with W Magazine. “She keeps me calm and balances me. Album-wise, she keeps me not saying too much.”

Most recently, JT and Uzi celebrated the holidays together in an extravagant way. The rapper bought JT an expensive gold watch, which she captioned “Thank you santa vert.”

It’s clear the bond between the two musicians is super strong — and will last, even if Uzi doesn’t make bond.
