The group was formed by Juvenile after he left Cash Money Records in 2002 and originally consisted of Juvenile, Wacko, Skip, Corey Cee, Soulja Slim and Young Buck. The group's first release was The Compilation, which was released through Orpheus Records on October 8, 2002. The album featured performances by Young Buck, Soulja Slim, Juvenile, Wacko, Skip and Corey Cee both as a group or by themselves. A second compilation entitled Street Stories was made in 2003. During the early stages of his career, 50 Cent worked with Young Buck, Skip, and Wacko on multiple songs for his mixtapes including 50 Cent Is the Future. Young Buck would subsequently leave UTP to join 50 Cent's G-Unit. Soulja Slim was murdered November 26, 2003 and Corey Cee later left the group.[1]

The group then signed a joint deal with Rap-A-Lot and Asylum in 2003 and began work on their debut album. UTP's debut LP, The Beginning of the End was released on May 18, 2004. The album spawned the hit single "Nolia Clap", which peaked at 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the group's only top 40 hit. The group followed the LP up with a seven-song EP also titled Nolia Clap that was released later in the year and it peaked at 65 on the R&B chart. Both Wacko and Skip would appear on Juvenile's 2006 album, Reality Check. Wacko and Skip returned as duo in 2007 without Juvenile and released UTP's second full-length LP Back Like We Left Something on July 24, 2007, and it peaked at 52 on the Billboard R&B chart.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of U.T.P Playas' song "Give It Up" appear to be a mix of both English and Japanese. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Gotta give it up" four times and is followed by the line "Let me feel your love, let me feel your lie," suggesting that the song is about a relationship in which the singer is addicted to the other person's love, even if it's not completely truthful.

The Japanese lyrics in the song translate to, "Every night, nightmares take you away, to a darkness that I cannot reach. Frozen in a negative hallucination, I try to predict the future of this game." This seems to suggest that the relationship the singer is in is anxiety-inducing and full of uncertainty.

The final verse in the song reads, "Everything I got went to waste, It was for you. I want you to love me, I need you." This lyric, paired with the chorus and the Japanese lyrics, seems to be a reflection on the confusion and desperation that comes with being in an unhealthy relationship, particularly one in which the singer is the one more invested and dependent on the other person's love.
