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.

UnoTheActivist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be, be, you, be, just be you
Believe, believe, you, believe, believe
Believe, believe, be, just be you
Everything you can achieve
Try it out, you will just see
Live, breath, sleep, dream
Little baby wanna ring
No I do not do those things
Everything I do for me
Believe in yourself and I swear you will see
I do not bang, I be overseas
I'm a strange deranged entity
Lord forgave me now I'm spreading my wings
Yeah, hop in the back of the tissue the heaven machine, whoa
Hoppin' up out of the bank, screamin' out cheese ooh
Hop in the back of your bitch, she screamin' for me, whoa
Look at my wrist bitch, screamin' out, bling bling, blow
'Member when my momma used to cry on her knees
Be, be, please be, just be, you
Be, be, you, be, just be you
Believe, believe, you, believe, believe
Believe, believe, be, just be you
