Hip hopTrap

Lil Uzi Vert is a Hip hop and Trap act. Their sound grew out of All of the Lights, Iann Dior, Cashmere Cat, Destroy Lonely and Mario Judah. Those roots explain a lot about how Lil Uzi Vert arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Destroy Lonely, OsamaSon, Gunna, Future and Lil Keed, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Nettspend, SoFaygo, When I Was Older, Skeme and Coogie, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 90 connections around Lil Uzi Vert, reaching back through All of the Lights and forward to Nettspend.
