Hip-hop has long been a young man’s game, and they don’t come much younger—or more divisive—than Philly rap upstart Lil Uzi Vert. Fusing the Auto-Tuned trap rap popularized in Atlanta with touches of EDM sizzle and emo-pop melodies, the 22-year-old confounds hip-hop fans who prize wordplay and lyricism above everything else. Taking a cue from collaborator Gucci Mane, the self-described East Atlanta Santa will spend two nights of the holiday season at the Fillmore for a show he’s calling “A Very Uzi Christmas.” For rap traditionalists, Uzi’s Christmas spirit is the one thing that connects him to everyone from Run DMC (“Christmas in Hollis”) to Snoop Dogg (“Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto”).
