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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the festivities, man
You know what I'm saying?
I just need y'all support, you dig?
What, ooh, what, what, what
What, ooh, what, what
Dig, what, what, ooh, what, what, what, what
(Uno, I killed it)
Yeah, when I walk in they like
"Who is that boy?"
Balmains sit on top of Off White Air Force
Look at y'all niggas like y'all minors
Sipping that Act' every day, I am bored
You tried to fit in like you a minority
Every day good, we step closer to glory
Who said you niggas was
Stamped? That's forgery
Tripping to think I am dap, supporting you
How you get to your fourth quarter?
I know who can get the
Work 'cross the border say you want a bag
Probably get it to you shorter
Got a lot of loads stashed up like a hoarder
And you know the Hellcat hold a lot of horses
Try to race me, better hold your horses
Can you speak up? Man, you looking so hoarse
And the 40 go click-click like Dorothy
No, you can't be my baby, abortion
Saint Laurent fabric the main course
I just wanna grow old with my bih'
Eat oysters twelve hunned just for these
Rings or the oysters
These racks shooting that bih' like Gordon
Big love, took control of your main organ
Yeah, I need a vase just to hold this water
Tats on my face just to say I'm warning you
Yeah, when I walk in they like
"Who is that boy?"
Balmains sit on top of Off White Air Force
Look at y'all niggas like y'all minors
Sipping that Act' every day, I am bored
You tried to fit in like you a minority
Every day good, we step closer to glory
Who said you niggas was
Stamped? That's forgery
Tripping to think I am dap, supporting you
Yeah, when I walk in they like
"Who is that boy?"
Balmains sit on top of Off White Air Force
Look at y'all niggas like y'all minors
Sipping that Act' every day, I am bored
You tried to fit in like you a minority
Every day good, we step closer to glory
Who said you niggas was
Stamped? That's forgery
Tripping to think I am dap, supporting you
