Mask Off: UZ Reveals Identity and Drops New 'Layers' LP

Ever since UZ burst onto the scene and began delivering some of the heaviest doses of real trap music that the world has ever seen, his identity has remained hidden behind a gold mask. Over time, his gold mask became a staple to his musical persona, keeping the idea of UZ strictly about the music and not about the person behind it.

Today, as part of the release of his highly anticipated Layers LP, UZ is unmasking and revealing a little bit about his past accomplishments and other aliases.

For the die hard fans that have seen him scratching live, it should come as no surprise that UZ has earned the title of DMC world champion twice under the alias DJ TROUBL. What may come as a surprise is his other alias PLEZIER which is known for vibrant house beats and is a huge difference from his UZ persona.

While it’s safe to say that UZ left the house music behind, it’s interesting to see the evolution of his sound, especially when you consider the experimental and darkly delicious trap music that his label Quality Goods Records has been putting out recently.

Designed for listeners to explore the styles that influenced him, UZ’s Layers LP is a highly dynamic sound experience with an unmistakable energy that is intensely hypnotic and most importantly memorable. Dive into the underground trap sounds of UZ’s world and stream Layers below.
