Discography 4 albums
Catalog covers the four studio albums Lil Uzi Vert has released: Luv Is Rage 2 (2017), Eternal Atake (2020), Pink Tape (2023), and Eternal Atake 2 (2024). Eternal Atake is shown in its standard eighteen-track edition; the deluxe disc was issued as the separate album Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2 and is not duplicated here. The earlier releases Luv Is Rage (2016), Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World (2016), and The Perfect LUV Tape (2016) are mixtapes rather than studio albums, so they are omitted.

The Authorship Story
Data Insight
Lil Uzi Vert sits high on the lyricist scale and very high on the composer scale, the usual shape for a melodic rapper who writes their own material over outside beats. Uzi's stage name anchors the lyricist column on nearly every track, joined only by featured artists who wrote their own guest parts. The composer column runs much wider, because each track lists Uzi's legal name, Symere Woods, alongside the producers who built the beat and the original writers of any sampled or interpolated record, which is why songs like 'The Way Life Goes,' 'Endless Fashion,' and the 'Chop Suey!' cover carry long writer lists.

The Story
Lil Uzi Vert, born Symere Bysil Woods, is an American rapper and singer from Philadelphia whose melodic, emotionally open style helped define the rage and emo rap sound of the late 2010s. After a run of mixtapes built with producer Don Cannon and the Generation Now label, the 2017 single 'XO Tour Llif3' became a multi-platinum crossover hit and pushed Uzi into the mainstream. The debut studio album Luv Is Rage 2 followed that year, and the long-delayed Eternal Atake arrived in 2020 to a number one debut. The 2023 album Pink Tape stretched further into rock and metal, with a System of a Down cover and a Bring Me the Horizon feature. Uzi writes their own verses across the catalog, with beats built largely by producers such as Don Cannon, Working on Dying, Bugz Ronin, and Maaly Raw, and credits widened by sampled and interpolated songs.
