Coming on with a playful, druggy, off-kilter, and fresh sound for 2016, Lil Uzi Vert is a charismatic ball of youth, stumbling around the world of rap a couple months after the mumbly freak Future busted the genre open, and doing it with enough talent that he seems enormously important. Holding onto that last bit with kid gloves, Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World eases the MC onto the scene as a feature-free, EP-sized mixtape. Hit single 'Money Longer' rules the track list with 'Grab the Wheel' and 'Canadian Goose' acting as a worthy support team. Metro Boomin, Don Cannon, and WondaGurl handle the production.

Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World is the third mixtape by American rapper Lil Uzi Vert. It was released on April 15, 2016, by Generation Now and Atlantic Records, serving as his second commercial release with Atlantic.[citation needed]The mixtape features production from Cubeatz, Don Cannon, Lyle LeDuff, Maaly Raw, Metro Boomin and WondaGurl.[4] A sequel was released on March 13, 2020.
Singles[edit]
The lead single from the mixtape, called 'Money Longer' was released on February 6, 2016. The track was produced by Don Cannon and Maaly Raw.[5]
The other two singles from the mixtape, 'You Was Right' and 'Ps & Qs' were released on April 15, 2016 with the rest of the mixtape. The first track was produced by Metro Boomin, and second by Don Cannon.[6]
Cover art[edit]
The artwork was designed by 20-year-old St. Louis artist Fvrris, sourcing the art of Bryan Lee O’Malley, whoseScott Pilgrim vs. The World is referenced in the album’s title. The cover art transforms Lil Uzi Vert into an anime style character in reference to Scott Pilgrim. He is featured with a depiction of his own love interest, Brittany Byrd, lying atop his head, in reference to Ramona Flowers. The background is filled with a mob of people, who appear to be enviously gazing at Uzi, emulating his 'haters'. Uzi, however, seems to only be bothered about the girl on his head. One person is spinning a basketball on his finger. This is an allusion to Brittany, who played basketball before meeting Uzi, as revealed by Nardwuar in an interview. Two cameras flash directly at Uzi in order to portray the newfound fame Uzi has accumulated. In front of the two girls kissing, there is a bass guitar that has 'Rage' engraved on its side, altogether alluding to Uzi's previous project Luv Is Rage. The use of a colourful, psychedelic background highlights the cloud rap genre Uzi uses in the mixtape.

Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World peaked at number 37 on the US Billboard 200 and spent a total of 55 weeks on the chart. It also peaked at number 18 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
