Lil Uzi Vert snaps the usual rap visuals and flips it into a fresh, fashion-rich universe in the “What You Saying” music video.
The video doesn’t focus on gritty streets or cryptic sci-fi worlds. Instead, Uzi turns up as a designer-in-command, blending runway energy with rap culture swagger.
The result feels like hip-hop meets haute couture amplified on full blast. The visual was shot by British director Charlotte Wales, with Uzi and Ava Nirui as creative directors, giving the whole piece a cinematic fashion-film vibe.
Clare Byrne styled the looks, pulling archival and runway references that make the clip feel like a dream show.
From the opening frame, Uzi sits in a dark studio sketching what looks like the next big look. Soon you are swept into a dream-like fashion show where models storm the catwalk, cameras flash and industry heavyweights drop cameo cameos.
Marc Jacobs, Law Roach and Adriana Lima stroll through the scene like bosses giving props to Uzi’s imagined brand.
It’s unmistakably bold and rooted in the aesthetic Uzi has been chasing across visuals like “Chanel Boy” and “Regular.”
The visual concept steers clear of the expected. Uzi doesn’t just wear designer fits. In “What You Saying,” they embody the spirit of fashion itself.
There’s classic archive gear from Raf Simons and Helmut Lang mixed with a runway crowd that feels both surreal and electric.
This isn’t a simple flex. It plays like a celebration of style as identity, confidence and culture. You watch and you feel Uzi’s choice of clothes as part of the narrative, not just decoration.
Sonically, “What You Saying” taps into a punchy, Jersey club-influenced bounce. Underpinning the beat is a French sample from Indila’s “Love Story,” which adds an unexpected sweep of melody before Uzi drops into their verses.
The hypnotic loop keeps your head nodding and eyes wide while the bass hits just right, giving that club energy but still keeping Uzi’s personality up front.

Lyrically, Uzi plays with phrases like they are sonic graffiti, mixing flirtatious bars with playful hooks. The hook itself makes the track feel like a question thrown out into a crowded club or fashion floor, daring you to respond. It feels immediate, like a cipher turned into a club anthem.
The pacing works. At under three minutes, “What You Saying” stays lean, just enough to hold you and the visuals dominate your attention.
The video carries playful tension without losing focus on Uzi’s persona. This is Uzi at their confident best, blending charisma with bold visual choices.
For Neon Music readers who caught Uzi’s earlier drops like “Regular,” this feels like a creative progression.
Where “Regular” pumped neon energy into club-ready bars, “What You Saying” channels that same spirit into a bigger visual world with swagger and style that doesn’t quit.
