We would be remiss if we never wrote about Lil Uzi Vert's "XO TOUR Llif3", which some are calling this generation's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". After being dropped nonchalantly on SoundCloud in March, the relatively accidental hit has gone viral several times over and now sits at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 (it probably would be #1 if not for its confusingly bad title). This booming manic anthem, produced by TM88, finds Uzi pronouncing, "All my friends are dead / push me to the edge", a couplet that speaks to a generation defined by cellular miscommunication and isolation. It's dark, depressing, and fun as hell to party to, and we implore you to listen to it below if you've somehow avoided the craze until now.
