After debuting at No. 89 in July 2016, Woods' second song to appear on the Billboard 200 chart, 'You Was Right,' peaked at No. 40. The Perfect LUV Tape, his fourth mixtape, was released the same month as his 22nd birthday and featured the singles 'Seven Million' and 'Erase Your Social,' which both failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. After learning that someone had compared his rap flow to being 'rapid, like a machine gun,' Woods changed his name to Lil Uzi Vert. On January 19, 2014, he put out his debut EP, 'Purple Thoughtz Vol. 1,' whose production The Guardian called 'psychedelic' and 'trippy,' and whose song 'White Shit' had a video that went viral in 2017, after Woods had become well-known.
He had an appearance on the Migos song 'Bad & Boujee' in August 2016. When the song peaked at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in January 2017, it was Uzi's first top-charting single as a solo or featured artist and his highest-charting single overall. In February 2017, while on tour with The Weeknd, Woods dropped the EP 'Luv is Rage 1.5,' which was highlighted by the SoundCloud success of the two standout songs titled 'Luv Scars K.O. 1600' and 'XO Tour Llif3.' These songs were declared platinum and peaked at No. 7 in the charts.
'Luv Is Rage 2,' Lil Uzi Vert's long-awaited and widely anticipated debut studio album, was ultimately released in August 2017. 'XO Tour Llif3,' the album's lead single, peaked at number ten. Platinum-certified, the album debuted at No. 1 on the charts.
In December 2019, Uzi released 'Futsal Shuffle 2020,' the lead single from his upcoming second studio album, 'Eternal Atake.' On March 6, 2020, 'Eternal Awake' became accessible one week early. It debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 at the beginning of 2020 and received 400 million streams, making it the album with the most streams since 2008. In the summer of 2020, Lil Uzi worked with Future on the album 'Pluto x Baby Pluto,' and he also had an appearance on a remix of StaySoldOut's 'Party Girl.' On April 24, 2020, Uzi released the song 'Sasuke.' This is his first new song since the deluxe edition of 'Eternal Awake.'
