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.
Or Whatever

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm off a Xan or whatever
Feel like the man or whatever
A nigga who try me whatever
Niggas can get it wherever
I'm gettin' geeked that forever
I'm killin' this beat that's forever
Cause I got the gas or whatever
I sleep with the gat or whatever
Baby I wanna do better
Maybe I buy you some Maison Margielas
I know these bitches see me shinin'
I know these niggas they jealous
I know it's gon' take a lil' time
But watch how I put it together
I am like one of the greatest
These niggas can't take it they hatin'
I see the look on they faces, my time
Ain't got no for waste
Lil' bitch get it together
Try to finesse me you better do better
This bitch she wanna fuck or whatever
But it's a wrap like a caterpillar
She wanna come for the children
I wanna fuck with no feelings
I feel like Damian Lillard
Dunkin' these hoes I'm
Passin' and stealin'
My diamonds come straight out the border
I told my lil' hoe go get it
Turnin' your back on your bros
You know that shit is forbidden
You know your shit wasn't with it
She wanna hang or whatever
Hang with the gang or whatever
You know I slang or whatever
So I just might flip me a zip
And cop some Balmains or whatever
I just might buy me some wrist
And buy my bitch some Margielas
I'm off a Xan or whatever
Feel like the man or whatever
A nigga who try me whatever
Niggas can get it wherever
I'm gettin' geeked that forever
I'm killin' this beat that's forever
My whoadie gon' ride that's forever
Cause I got the gas or whatever

I know it's gon' take a lil' time
But watch how I put it together
Said this gas got me high
Feel like Tony Stark
Three dollar signs all I'm lookin' for
Bitch, Uno the Lord comin' in stores
Probably took over the shit but
Told your hoe too boring
I can't fuck the hoe cause the hoe is boring
And they say I was that
Nigga before I was born
I'm a young grown boy, you a newborn
A nigga try me, somebody please inform him
I'ma pop a Xan and then I'll teleport
I just bought some ice
Your diamonds lookin' warm
I pull up an Audi, you a Honda Accord
Had to roll my window down and serve you boy
I'm off a Xan or whatever
Feel like the man or whatever
A nigga who try me whatever
