It’s true that they might not be the most cerebral artists, but SremmLife went platinum for a reason: these two know how to have a good time-and people like good times. Certain radio personalities have dubbed the music made by Swae Lee and his brother Slim Jxmmi “kiddie rap,” and the comment sections of their videos are always peppered with “death of hip-hop” doom and gloom. Rae Sremmurd’s party-starting, give-no-fucks fun has proven to be a polarizing force in hip-hop. Outside of the studio, Tyler continued to get his mogul on, with his content-heavy Golf Media app and his first, fittingly bizarre fashion show. He also made time to lend production to Odd Future compatriot Domo Genesis’ album.
That uptempo energy showed up again “Big Body,” the song he produced for ScHoolboy Q’s Blank Face LP. Then, on a totally different wave, he remixed Zayn’s “ Pillow Talk ," highlighting a brighter, club-ready vibe to his sound. This year, instead of blessing his fans with a new project, he snapped on his version of Kanye West’s “Freestyle 4,” showcasing how easy it is for him to talk that talk over the right eerie instrumental. Handling production duties by himself, Tyler went toe-to-toe with rap titans like Lil Wayne and Kanye West, got jazzy as hell, and made his well-documented love for chord progressions clear at every turn.
In 2015, Tyler released his most ambitious album, Cherry Bomb, and further explored the influences he’s long worn on his sleeve. Chris Menchĭo you know how ill Tyler, the Creator is? He can decrease his output as an artist and still drop just one spot in our annual list. If he can leverage that into crossover hits and solid album sales, Uzi has the chance to shape the sound of hip-hop. Does he have the ability to carry a proper studio full-length? Time will tell, but he’s certainly building a dedicated fan base (as attendees at last weekend's Made in America saw firsthand). “When I’m in L.A., pedal to the floor man,” he croons on “Pull Up,” turning what could have been a run-of-the-mill Wiz song into something special. Uzi's breakthrough records “ Money Longer ” and “ Pull Up ” with Wiz Khalifa, encapsulate his star power and charisma the best. the World and The Perfect LUV -both of which performed admirably. The Philadelphia artist has dropped two mixtapes in the last four months- Lil Uzi Vert vs. His sing-songy style fits perfectly into the context of a rap world figuring out what comes next after the success of Future and Young Thug. The runaway popularity of Lil Uzi Vert caught many by surprise, but it shouldn’t have.
