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.

The lyrics of UnoTheActivist's song "First Step" discuss the process of establishing a relationship with someone. The first step is portrayed as getting to know each other by exchanging first names. The second step involves further commitment as the individuals share their last names. The third step mentions obtaining the social aspect, suggesting the importance of socializing and connecting with each other. Moving forward, the fourth step indicates a shift in behavior where the singer acts like they don't know the other person. It suggests a colder, distant approach, possibly due to personal reasons or circumstances. However, the fifth step is explicitly stated as non-existent, implying that the singer doesn't engage in the typical progression of relationships.
The lyrics then transition to a different topic, as UnoTheActivist references various pop culture figures and personal experiences. He mentions catching someone outside, akin to Bhad Bhabie, a reference to an altercation that occurred on the Dr. Phil show. The line about having a red dot by his side, like Darth Vader, suggests that he has a weapon on him for protection. The lyrics also highlight his desire for confrontation and his enjoyment of the thrill.
The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the steps in establishing a relationship, while the closing line, "All you niggas step kids, I ain't even check on y'all lately," dismisses the importance of maintaining connections with others and suggests a lack of concern for those who aren't directly involved in his life.
