    Released: March 24, 2017

Luv Is Rage 1.5 is the second extended play by American rapper and singer Lil Uzi Vert.[1][2] It was released independently on February 26, 2017 exclusively on SoundCloud as throwaway tracks from their debut studio album, Luv Is Rage 2 (2017). The project includes four tracks – including the single "XO Tour Llif3" which was included later on Luv Is Rage 2 – and features production from Derelle Rideout, DJ Plugg, DP Beats, JW Lucas and TM88.[3][4]

Background[edit]

The four-track project was uploaded exclusively to Lil Uzi Vert's SoundCloud account, with the intention of generating excitement for their following release, Luv Is Rage 2. The EP quickly amassed millions of plays despite not having a commercial release. Most notably the song "XO Tour Llif3" gained significant online attention, resulting in its commercial release as a single and later its inclusion on Luv Is Rage 2.

Singles[edit]

On March 24, 2017, Lil Uzi Vert released "XO Tour Llif3" to streaming services as a single and in May 2017 peaked at number 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[5]
