The 15 Best Lil Uzi Vert Songs, Ranked

The best Lil Uzi Vert songs cover a decade of rap’s most restless catalog — from the 2016 mixtape run through Luv Is Rage 2, Eternal Atake, Pink Tape and the surprise Maverick EP released July 31, 2026 — and this list ranks the 15 that still hold.

How these best Lil Uzi Vert songs were ranked

Chart position matters, but it is not the deciding factor — Uzi’s most important records often underperformed commercially and then rewrote what the next three years sounded like. Weighting goes to songs that changed the melodic-rap vocabulary, that survived the platform they broke on, and that still work outside the era’s nostalgia. Lead and solo tracks only; guest appearances are excluded.

Why “XO Tour Llif3” is still No. 1

“XO Tour Llif3” is the most consequential rap song of 2017 and arguably of Uzi’s generation. Produced by TM88, it peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has been certified 14× platinum by the RIAA, but its real weight is structural: it made a suicidal, monotone melodic hook a mainstream format and opened the door for everything filed under emo rap. Nine years later it is still the song a crowd waits for.

The 2016 mixtape run is underrated

“Money Longer” and “You Was Right” both come from a two-tape stretch — Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World on April 15, 2016 and The Perfect LUV Tape on July 31, 2016 — that gets remembered as a warm-up and was actually the invention. The Maaly Raw and Don Cannon productions from that period established the bright, weightless palette Uzi has been rearranging ever since, and “Money Longer” remains the purest version of it.

Where does “Just Wanna Rock” fit?

Third, and it could be argued higher. Released in 2022 and built on a Jersey club kick pattern, it peaked at No. 10 on the Hot 100 and pushed a regional club rhythm into arena rap — a bridge between Philadelphia and the Jersey club scene that most rappers had ignored. It is the last genuine format shift he has caused.

What about the Maverick EP?

Nothing from Maverick “Almost Forever” is ranked here yet, and that is deliberate. The eight-track project appeared with no announcement on July 31, 2026, Uzi’s 31st birthday, and immediately hit No. 1 on the US Apple Music hip-hop and rap chart and No. 2 all-genre — but three weeks of streaming is not evidence a song belongs on an all-time list. Our full write-up on Maverick topping Apple Music covers the tracklist and the “album after this” message hidden in the cover art.

What’s next?

The Maverick artwork points to a full-length follow-up to Eternal Atake 2, which debuted at No. 3 on November 1, 2024, though Generation Now has confirmed nothing. Watch whether the next project keeps the EP’s stripped-down, feature-free approach. Certification and chart data via the RIAA.
