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.
Pure

Mayyzo
Loesoe going crazy
Everything pure
I got the purest diamonds out the floor
I gotta count it twice just to be sure
Can't trust nobody, can never be sure
Repent every day just so I can stay pure
My bitch is the purest, a purebred for sure
Pure drip on my body, Comme des Garçons
My heart is so pure, I stay rackin' in money
I'm tryna be pure but this world is so phony
I told you don't leave your ho 'round me, lil' homie
She kiss on my neck, YSL cologne
These niggas be cap 'bout they sales, Columbus
I just pulled up in a Hellcat at the dungeon
Yellow diamond pinky ring like a Funyun
Yes, I can make your shit tear, no onions
Pulled in the night bet it spend some 'bout money
I tried the Benz but the Rolls Royce goin' dummy
This Prada jacket had you proud for nothin'
She hop in my bed, and we went beyond
I'm proud of her head, she proud of my money
You pussy lil' niggas get drilled, no army
What's in my cup same color as Barney
Matter fact, I need the plug or the pharmacy
My ho gon' hop out that closet, no Narnia
Guess that she bi, I guess it's the money
Got blue like the skies, ain't talking 'bout hundreds
Niggas talking beef, we gon' pull up like we hunting
Got the Noah's Ark AP on, I'm flooded
Niggas not even ready for this discussion
She gon' give me head 'til I get a concussion
Baby on my motherfuckin' skin like lotion
Pop a Percocet now I'm movin' slow motion
Everything I do is real golden
All these hoes know that I'm chosen
Know I am the wave, no ocean
Got my ex bitch trying to get a token
Tryna call me every time, boy, you broken
Got big racks on me, yeah, stuffed crust
Yeah, I don't even pass, only puff-puff
I just gon' blow gas, that's yes-yes
Everything pure
I got the purest diamonds out the floor
I gotta count it twice just to be sure
Can't trust nobody, can never be sure
I hustle every day, don't wanna be poor
Repent every day just so I can stay pure
My bitch is the purest, a purebred for sure
Pure drip on my body, Comme des Garçons
My heart is so pure, I stay rackin' in money
I'm tryna be pure but this world is so phony
I told you don't leave your ho 'round me, lil' homie
She kiss on my neck, YSL cologne
These niggas be cap 'bout they sales, Columbus
In "Pure," UnoTheActivist raps about his desire to maintain purity in his life, from his diamonds to his heart. He emphasizes the importance of hard work and the dangers of trusting others in a world he deems as "phony." He describes his lavish lifestyle, including his Comme des Garçons drip and YSL cologne, and boasts about his wealth and power. UnoTheActivist also addresses his haters and warns them not to leave their partners around him.
The song has a prominent theme of materialism, as UnoTheActivist flaunts his wealth through his lyrics. This, combined with his emphasis on purity, creates an interesting contrast as he appears to be grappling with the morality of his lifestyle. Additionally, he references a variety of high-end brands and items, such as the Rolls Royce and Comme des Garçons, showing a willingness to indulge in luxury goods.
The song also highlights UnoTheActivist's unique vocal style, with his flows often morphing into an almost melodic sound. The beat provided by IanoBeatz and Mayyzo complements his vocals, with a catchy piano riff that loops throughout the song to create an earworm of a beat.
