A huge comeback for Uzi as he steps into a new era under Roc Nation with a sound fans say feels like “classic Uzi.”

Lil Uzi Vert has officially stepped back into the spotlight, and the numbers show fans were more than ready for his return. His new single “CHANEL BOY” earned 261,000 first-day Spotify streams—a particularly impressive feat considering the track had less than 12 hours of tracking on its first day.

This release marks a new chapter for Uzi, as it’s his first drop since leaving Atlantic Records and transitioning to Roc Nation management, a move that has had fans speculating about a refreshed creative direction.

While “CHANEL BOY” has received mixed reactions from listeners, one common thread is the excitement around Uzi tapping back into the sound that initially made him a star. Fans have been calling it a return to classic Uzi energy—the warped melodies, hyperactive flows, and free-spirited swagger that defined his earlier mixtape era.

Whether the song ranks among his best is up for debate, but its immediate impact is undeniable. The strong streaming debut proves one thing: The world missed the hell out of Lil Uzi Vert
