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 the song "Yamaha" by UnoTheActivist seem to depict a confident and assertive attitude. The repeated references to riding like a Yamaha and the sound effects of vrooming create a sense of speed and power. The line "Dunk right on these hoes" could be interpreted as a metaphor for asserting dominance or superiority over others. The mention of Tommy Hawk could be a reference to a hockey move, further emphasizing the idea of overpowering and outmaneuvering opponents.
The lyrics also convey a sense of resilience and triumph. The line "I remember back when I had lost it all, came back like a fuckin' zombie" suggests that the artist has faced challenges or setbacks but has managed to rise again. The imagery of soaking things in like a sponge could imply a desire to absorb and learn from experiences, as well as a sense of embracing success and seizing opportunities.
