Symere Bysil Woods ( sy-MEER; born July 31, 1995), known professionally as Lil Uzi Vert, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, they gained initial recognition following the release of the commercial mixtape Luv Is Rage (2015), which led to a recording contract with Atlantic Records, to whom they signed under DJ Drama's Generation Now imprint.

Lil Uzi Vert attracted mainstream attention following the release of their 2016 debut single "Money Longer". The song served as lead single for their third mixtape Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World (2016), which also contained the song "You Was Right". After releasing two additional mixtapes in 2016 and 2017, Lil Uzi Vert guest appeared on the Billboard Hot 100-number one single "Bad and Boujee" by Migos. They later secured their first top ten single with "XO Tour Llif3", which won the MTV Video Music Award for Song of Summer.

"XO Tour Llif3" served as lead single for Lil Uzi Vert's debut studio album Luv Is Rage 2 (2017), which debuted atop the Billboard 200, and received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). At the 2018 Grammy Awards, they were nominated for Best New Artist. Following several delays, their second studio album, Eternal Atake (2020), became his second project to debut atop the Billboard 200. After releasing Pluto × Baby Pluto (2020), a collaborative album with Future, Lil Uzi Vert spent the next three years teasing their third solo album, Pink Tape (2023). Upon release, it became their third consecutive solo project to debut atop the Billboard 200, and included the Billboard Hot 100 top-ten single "Just Wanna Rock".
