People already expected a verse from Uzi on the album, but when the album dropped, there was no Uzi on there. TMZ camera crew caught up with Nav on the streets a few hours ago and asked him why Lil Uzi wasn't on his album, and he said...

"I don't know men. They got to free Uzi. He locked up right now...I don't know what his situation is but he got to take care of that."









He was talking about the problems Lil Uzi is having with his record label. The TMZ guy went on to ask him if we would ever hear music from him and Uzi in the future, and he answered with...

"As soon as he got out of that situation we will drop everything."

DJ Diamond Kuts Narrates How She Discovered Lil Uzi Vert

Lil Uzi Vert might be a superstar rapper now, but Veteran Philadelphia DJ, DJ Diamond Kuts was actually the one that discovered him in their hometown, Philadelphia many years ago.

During her recent interview on New York radio station, Power 105.1 FM, DJ Diamond Kuts spoke about how she and her husband discovered Lil Uzi Vert. Read her narration of the events that led to Uzi signing with Atlantic Records below.

"My husband called me buzz, and he say, yo there is this kid, Symere (Lil Uzi Vert), I really like him, I think we should work with him. And I said, let me check him out. I looked him up. Met him. Loved him. We started creating songs. We created like, umm, What Do You Want, and we created the song, Uzi. You know, all of the earlier hits. Umm. I played it on the radio. Cannon hit me. Cannon was like, yo Diamond, who's that kid you played on your set. I said, his name is Uzi, his an artist that we working with. He was signed to our management at the time. And Cannon said I want to come down and meet him. At the same time Cannon was interested, Kanye was interested. Cannon didn't want to lose him to Ye, you know what I mean, so he said, Uzi, come down to Atlantic, let me show you how we work. If you like how we work, you know what I mean, you can sign with us, and then take it from there. We was all excited...we was all excited. Uzi was excited. We was excited. He went to Atlantic...he started...little by little, he wasn't talking to us anymore...that's pretty much how it happened. We heard on the streets that he signed to Atlantic."

Old meets new. Checkout this picture of veteran New York rapper, Fabolous, with Lil Uzi Vert, and Joey Badass at a show yesterday. I like the fact that Fabolous has been able to stay consistent all this years, whether it is with an album, a new mixtape, or just a couple of freestyles on radio. Kudos to Fab.
