Uno cemented himself as a pillar of the rap scene in 2015, taking the underground by storm with the release of his No More Thotties mixtape and songs like "Parkin' Lot Pimpin'," "Giuseppe Swag," and "WHAT." Uno would respond to the craving for new music held by his fans for two years by releasing his debut studio mixtape Live.Shyne.Die in late 2017.
A desire for musical experimentation led to his mid-2018 EP Limbus. The series' second installment would release in December of that same year. This trend of experimentation would continue itself with the release of Uno's Deadication remix project in mid-2019.
Uno delivered Deadication II: Lost Files in early 2020, a mixtape containing vaulted songs dating back to 2017. In mid-2020, Uno released his highly-anticipated debut studio album, 8, which included popular tracks "Das Him," "Night Mode," and "Can't Go."
At the beginning of 2021, Uno would release his sophomore studio album, Unoverse, a 10-track LP that would mark his first independent release since his 2017 EP Sorry for the Wait. The project featured standout cuts "Taco Bell" and "Opp Pack." ~ Alexander L. & Hamed T.

(Jiggi? No one calls you that) Uno I killed it
Want a new whip, need me a Aston
I get racks, think about last year
Only talk cash, only talk cash, nigga
You want these racks, she can not have them
I'm spendin' these racks, just like fuck it
On the way like ?, lil' Jackson
I told her fly on over
My bitch bad to the bone
Let me know if you feelin' the budget, yeh
Let me know if you gettin' to money, yeh
Broad daylight, ain't no mask here
Brand new Chanel, talkin' 'bout fashion
Y'all niggas ain't eatin', y'all talkin' 'bout fastin'
Yeah, I'm a addict, I'm a magnet
Fuck with me, then you end up on channel ten
Brand new Goyard, alligator skin
Almost dozed off, addict, yeah
'Rari drove off, and you know I'm in it
Got a little water in these fins
I said, I got a little water if you wanna come over and swim
Keep out gettin' trapped, 'cause traphouse jumpin' out the gym
Put some respect on my name, 'cause you can never check this pimp
Want a new whip, need me a Aston
I get racks, think about last year
Only talk cash, only talk cash, nigga
You want these racks, she can not have them
I'm spendin' these racks, just like fuck it
I'm countin' up in a college
On the way like ?, lil' Jackson
I told her fly on over
My bitch bad to the bone
Let me know if you feelin' the budget, yeh
Let me know if you gettin' to money, yeh
Want a new whip, need me a Aston
I get racks, think about last year
Only talk cash, only talk cash, nigga
You want these racks, she can not have them
I'm spendin' these racks, just like fuck it
I'm countin' up in a college
On the way like ?, lil' Jackson
I told her fly on over
My bitch bad to the bone
Let me know if you feelin' the budget, yeh
Let me know if you gettin' to money, yeh
In the lyrics for Ethereal Dreams by UnoTheActivist, the rapper talks about his desire for a new Aston Martin car and the money he has been making in the past year. He talks about only talking about cash and not being interested in anything else. He mentions spending his money freely without much thought, counting it up in his college and feeling like he is on his way up. Uno invites a woman over and shows off his expensive taste, mentioning his brand new Chanel and Goyard items. He boasts about his success and warns anyone who tries to cross him by saying they will end up on channel ten, insinuating that he is not to be messed with.
One interpretation of the lyrics is that Uno is celebrating his success and showing off his wealth. He is proud of his material possessions, including his cars and designer items. He is also making it clear that he is all about the money and that he is not interested in anything else besides financial gain. It's clear that Uno is enjoying the success that he has built for himself and feels that he will continue to achieve more.
