Lil Uzi Vert Becomes Independent Artist, Signs Roc Nation Distribution Deal & Drops “Chanel Boy”

Lil Uzi Vert has entered a new phase of their career, officially becoming an independent artist through a new deal with Roc Nation Distribution. The move coincides with the release of their latest track, “Chanel Boy,” produced by ZeeGoinXrazy.

Under the new arrangement, the GRAMMY-nominated rapper will release music independently while retaining full ownership of their masters. According to the article, the structure of the deal places Lil Uzi Vert in a small, exclusive group of artists: they now join JAY-Z and Rihanna as the only performers who are both managed by Roc Nation and signed to Roc Nation’s distribution arm.

Roc Nation Distribution President Krystian Santini highlighted the significance of the partnership in a statement, emphasizing Uzi’s status and the creative freedom built into the deal. “UZI is a global icon and a dynamic force in the music industry, so we’re thrilled to work together with them in this new capacity,” Santini said. “Our partnership is centered around empowering UZI to continue building their legacy, with full creative control and the resources to take their artistry to new heights.”

The announcement frames “Chanel Boy” as the first release under this new structure, signaling a chapter where Lil Uzi Vert will operate with expanded autonomy over their music and long-term catalog. Fans can watch the “Chanel Boy” music video via the platforms linked in the original report.
