INFORMATION ABOUT LIL UZI VERT
From https://rapandhiphop.fandom.com/wiki/Lil_Uzi_Vert
"Symere Bysil Woods (born July 31, 1995), known
professionally as Lil Uzi Vert, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter.
Characterized by their face tattoos, facial piercings, eccentric hairstyles and
their bold fashion, their music is defined by often dark subject matters and
imagery built on a melodic emo approach to trap. Born and raised in
Philadelphia, Lil Uzi gained initial recognition following the release of the
commercial mixtape Luv Is Rage (2015), which led to a recording contract with Atlantic
Records, to whom they signed to under DJ Drama's Generation Now imprint. Uzi
Vert attracted mainstream attention following the release of their debut single
"Money Longer" in 2016. The song would act as the lead single for the
subsequent mixtape Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World (2016), which also contained the
song "You Was Right". After releasing two additional mixtapes in 2016
and 2017, including one in collaboration with Gucci Mane, Lil Uzi Vert was
featured on the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping Migos' single "Bad and
Boujee". They later secured their first top ten single with "XO Tour
Llif3", which won the MTV Video Music Award for Song of Summer.
"XO Tour Llif3" acted as the lead single to Lil Uzi Vert's debut studio album Luv Is Rage 2 (2017), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). At the 2018 Grammy Awards, Lil Uzi Vert was nominated for Best New Artist. Their second studio album, Eternal Atake (2020), was among the most anticipated albums in hip hop and peaked at number one on the Billboard 200."...

ReplyDeleteHere's some information about "Jersey Shore Music"
From https://rateyourmusic.com/genre/jersey-shore-sound/:
..."The Jersey Shore sound is an amalgamation of popular American musical styles during the 1950s and '60s, taking cues from the passionate vocalizations of Doo-Wop groups like The Drifters, the energetic Rhythm & Blues and Soul stylings of Sam Cooke, as well as the gritty, early Rock & Roll sounds of Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Songs that represent the Jersey Shore sound are often very horn-driven and rely on keyboard instruments, such as pianos and glockenspiels, to carry melodic lines. Other non-rock instruments, such as accordions and pipe organs, can be occasionally utilized. Jersey Shore sound songs are also highly rhythmic and beat-driven, characterized by Roots Rock-inspired, thrumming guitar tones, as well as danceable, pulsating drum patterns. These wide range of sounds can be traced back to the Jersey Shore's close proximity to large, metropolitan areas, such as Philadelphia and New York City, which had robust rock and R&B scenes."...
