Roc Nation Has Stepped in to Help Lil Uzi Vert's Music Career
Lil Uzi Vert has kept fans guessing about the release of his sophomore album Eternal Atake but it looks like some good news may be on the way.
A couple of months ago, he threatened to quit music for good but kept teasing that he’s ready to put out his old stuff for the fans. Two weeks ago, he spoke on the struggles with his label, Generation Now and revealed that he’s willing to drop his album for free on Soundcloud. On Sunday night, Uzi took to his Instagram stories to tell his fans he was back in the studio. He also mysteriously thanked Roc Nation, leading to speculations that he has left Generation Now.
Sources close to the situation have confirmed Lil Uzi Vert is now only being managed by Roc Nation.
As of late, Hov and his team at Roc Nation have worked behind the scenes to help artists navigate legal and business situations. The biggest example of this would be Lil Wayne. Similar to Uzi, Wayne was being held back by his record label, Cash Money, which hindered his music-making process. Not only did TIDAL and Roc Nation allow Wayne to put out Free Weezy Album in 2015, but Jay-Z also reportedly helped Weezy pay his taxes during his label dispute.
