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.

Spaceship, three, two, one
I'm blasting off
We can take off and go anywhere, girl
Let's go to Aspen (Yeah)
Know I'm in your head
Give me that head like aspirin
And I just got me some ice
I got new money, I got new status (Yeah)
I got good times, I got bad habit's (Oh)
I got road rage
Thanks to the two-hundred dash (Skrrt)
I got growing pains, still believe in magic
(Yeah)
All my life I've grown up
Knowin' to be savage (You dig)
Turn your back on me
I swear I won't look back on you (Woah)
How is that your partner? He crossed you
He stabbed you (How?)
Pain's always stressin' you down, you mad
(Huh?) no rag, leave it in the bag (Damn)
I pull up with my foot on the
Pedal and I'm good on gas (Uh, comin')
My morning too
(Brrt) , and I'll shine on you
If I don't care how you feel, my bad
(No, I can't even feel my back)
If I wanna know how you feel, I'll ask
(Question, ooh)
If I wanna know how you feel, I'll grab
Yeah (Feel it)
World up in my hands, you
Still tryna get a grasp, yeah
(Hold it, hold it)
Can't be from this world
I feel more than a man (O oh)
If you reachin' for my chain
You get more than a slam
Yeah (Brrt) , that's a bet
Fuck a bitch, arm leg (Leg) , arm head (Woo)
Headshot, red dot (Head) , infrared ('Red)
Infiltrate all the spots (O oh)
Double agent, double profit (O oh)
Coupe inside, the coupe a
Spaceship, three, two, one
