Out of a lot of the Freshmen of his year, Lil Uzi Vert still manages to stand out among them. Whether it's through his fashion choices or his music, the Philly rapper has proved that he's here to stay. Back in August, he released his highly anticipated debut album LUV Is Rage 2. The second song on the album is "444+222" which is a direct reference to Jay-Z's critically acclaimed album, 4:44. However, according to the song's producer, we might receive a remix of the song featuring the legend himself.

Ike Beatz, who co-produced "444+222" with Maaly Raw, took to Twitter to share a simply message that clearly hints at a remix with Jay-Z. The producer simply tweeted, "JAY REMIX 444+222." So it looks like there very well may be a remix of the song coming with Jay-Z sometime soon. 

Whether or not the Jay-Z remix comes into fruition, we're definitely eager to hear new music from Lil Uzi Vert in the near future. Don Cannon recently spoke on Lil Uzi Vert's work ethic. Apparently, the Luv Is Rage 2 artist records about 700 songs a year which is breaks down to roughly two songs a day. That being said, we know that Uzi has some work in the trunk. Earlier this year, the rapper teamed up with TM88 and Southside for their highly anticipated collaboration on "Mood." Shortly after, he released "200 My Dash" through DJ Plugg's Birthday Playlist 4.
