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.

The lyrics to Unotheactivist's song "What" is about the rapper's obsession with money, sex, and violence. The chorus presents a characteristically nihilistic theme, with Unotheactivist's indifferent attitude toward his partner's talking and preference for sexual encounters. He spends his money freely, counting it up and showing off at the strip club. The song also touches on themes of violence, with Unotheactivist boasting about his toughness and readiness to fight or even kill anyone who disrespects him or his crew. Overall, the song speaks to a larger trend in contemporary hip-hop that embraces a stoic, emotionally detached persona as well as hedonism and violence.

This actually deep, When he says "what" you can see that hes lost asking for directions and he seems to be deaf and the people around him don't want to help him, but he still gets enough courage and continues to ask them, "what, what, what".
For hope that he may learn to hear there voices and answer. π #CartiOver2Pac

@JustAgreekPassing
Actually the video is pretty introspective tbh. Nod to freemasonry and Ocultic culture that has now embraced hood niggas as their own, puts a more clear meaning on the phrase "Should've never gave us niggas money"
