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 ↴
I know it's been a lil' minute
I know it's been a lil' minute since I sat back and looked down at you niggas
I know it's been a lil' minute since I took some time to look down on you niggas
I know it's been a minute
I know it's been a minute
All of my time don't have no limit, though
I don't want superstitions
Huh, they claimin' critics
Yeah, niggas simpin', these niggas they really bitchin'
Know it's been a minute
I know it's been a minute
I ain't seen mama in a minute
I know my brother, he got sentenced
All of my diamonds they come from fridges
Diamonds just bought the brib
My boy he gon' ride when it's time to get it
All this blue flexin', we full of fitness
Been a lil' minute since I took the time to look back and look down and frown on you niggas
I know it's been a lil' minute since I had to land on the ground
I used to look up the the pound
Took a minute, but this money is found
Been a minute, brodie locked down
I'm just trying to hold him down
It's been a lil' minute, we made it
Now I remember when they hated, now they 'bout to drip I can taste it
I came from the bottom like basement
Big Glock with the laser
I shot the hoe bro like a taser
I'm high in the sky like a scraper
I twist up the gas by the acre
I drip too much sauce, I get too much flavor
I get to the Benjis, I need every penny, I'm countin' my guap
Since it's been a minute, I walk up in Emmet and iced out my watch
I come from the block
Play you get mopped
My diamonds they hit and they shine
It's been a lil' minute, I've been on the grind
Know it's been a minute
I know it's been a minute
I ain't seen mama in a minute
I know my brother, he got sentenced
All of my diamonds they come from fridges
Diamonds just bought the brib
My boy he gon' ride when it's time to get it
All this blue flexin', we full of fitness
Been a lil' minute since I took the time to look back and look down and frown on you niggas
I know it's been a lil' minute since I had to land on the ground
I used to look up the the pound
Took a minute, but this money is found
Been a minute, brodie locked down
I'm just trying to hold him down
I used to skip school to trap
Got kicked out for a nickel sack
They didn't want to give it a nap
Said "Fuck it, nigga, I'ma rap"
My daddy used to tell me if he see me, how he was gon' get on my ass
I can still remember the days, he found a scale, I used to weigh up them grams
Had to maintain, had to understand, then became a young man
Ooh, I had to do what I can, but still I don't got a plan
But look at me now, I got money
NB mixed with CEO, he hungry
Every day, man, my team gettin' stronger
Every day the money gettin' longer
Started from an original
Know it's been a minute
I know it's been a minute
I ain't seen mama in a minute
I know my brother, he got sentenced
All of my diamonds they come from fridges
Diamonds just bought the brib
My boy he gon' ride when it's time to get it
All this blue flexin', we full of fitness
Been a lil' minute since I took the time to look back and look down and frown on you niggas
I know it's been a lil' minute since I had to land on the ground
I used to look up the the pound
Took a minute, but this money is found
Been a minute, brodie locked down
I'm just trying to hold him down
