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 ↴
You must be a punk ayy
Ayy, let me tell you something what? What?
What? What? Dig? Lit
What? Oh, wait
Uno, I killed it (Dream, this shit go dummy)
What a time to be alive
It's parked outside
Said she wanna get in, told
That bitch, "Let's go, let's ride"
"Uno, where you been?" I'm somewhere
With all the vibes
Vibes, vibes, vibes, I got vibes, vibes
You know that's my gang
'cause they gon' slide
I know that she love me 'cause
She suck this dick with pride
This shit could get ugly
Fuck around and start a riot
Riot, riot, riot
I'm gon' shoot 'til thе bullets gone
I'm seizing shit, comе and take you home
Please your bitch, yeah, I turn her on
So much drip, gotta hold my nose
Fucking your ho, make her hold her toes
Mm, something like clothes, they fold
Wave ranned off, I'm Uno boat
Bitches passed out on the floor
12 came in and kicked the door
Project X, I'm lit as shit
I got lean and she got coke
I'm on acid, face-melting
I can see my way to heaven
Drugs make me feel so angelic
Bullets beatin', I repel 'em
What a time to be alive
What a time to live, Lamborghini coupe
It's parked outside
Said she wanna get in, told
That bitch, "Let's go, let's ride"
"Uno, where you been?" I'm somewhere
With all the vibes
Vibes, vibes, vibes, I got vibes, vibes
You know that's my gang
'cause they gon' slide
I know that she love me 'cause
She suck this dick with pride
This shit could get ugly
Fuck around and start a riot
