1) Uzi was a duo that consisted of Gab3 and Mik3 aka Young Forever.
2) Uzi (pronounced as "Uji") is a Japanese hip-hop artist. He has released four major albums, most recently his “Natural 9” album released in March 2008. Uzi is one of the rappers to incorporate more overt elements of Japanese culture into his music and videos, specifically aspects referring to the samurai (to which he claims direct ancestry). He is a great example of an artist who maintains the localization of hip-hop music through his dependence on the incorporation of Japanese themes into his work. Such non-Americanization of his hip-hop music has been met with varying opinions; some view this as disrespectful of the origins of hip-hop culture, while there are those who appreciate Uzi’s apparent embracing of Japanese culture.
3) Uzi was formed on Chicago's south side in late 1986 by childhood friends and co-founders, singer, songwriter, bassist Nicholas Flynt and guitarist Keith Johnson.
A decade earlier their friendship was forged on a school playground by their equally unquenchable thirst for musical classics like "KISS - Alive!", Aerosmith's "Rocks", and Van Halen "Van Halen". They each bought guitars and formed a band and as the 70's gave way to the 80's they became influenced by the metal rock wave ridden by bands like AC/DC, Judas Priest, and Motley Crue.
They recruited local monster drummer Dan Parker and soon after Kenny Shattuck was enlisted to take over the bass. Gary "Vail" Vaillancour was brought into the band as the 2nd guitarist and the original lineup was complete. Under the name "Dillinger" the band recorded early 16 track demos at Hair Bear Studios and played to packed venues on the south side.
With the help of their good friend Steven Sousanes the band was picked up by a local manager who persuaded the band to change it's name to UZI. Soon they were recording their debut tracks in the legendary Chicago Trax studios with owner Al Ursini at the helm. The result of which was 3 songs- "American Dream", "Love I'm Looking For", and the premier rock ballad "Away From My Heart".
Parker left and was replaced by drummer Paul Petrillo. Bassist Shattuck left and was replaced by Jeff Kors. The never-ending drama of rock n' roll bands led to the eventual departure of co-founder Keith Johnson, who was later replaced by guitarist Ben Taylor.
With the willing and dedicated team now in place, UZI began an assault of shows throughout Chicago and the surrounding Midwest. Soon their reputation for being a great, high-energy live act with quality songs was emerging.
In what started out as a dare, at an all ages performance at a roller rink in Indiana, the band performed their first show wearing masks.
The next week all the buzz among the attendees of the show was about "the band in the masks". A convincing statement whereas only days before the show, guitarist ben Taylor threatened leaving the band over performing with a mask on. Thus the band continued to experiment with many props and effects to add to their already outstanding shows.
It was early 1990 and Kors was replaced by bassist Jimmy Nelson. That same year UZI won a respected "Best New Metal Band" award and the buzz became stronger than ever. The band was approached by several local producers and recorded material at CRC and Streeterville Studios that produced songs like "Mutha's Knockin'"and "Do What I Do" and was soon at the top of most requested local band playlists on WVVX.
With every subsequent release, the bands popularity was growing as they were booking shows throughout the midwest. They began displaying a unique diversity between electric/acoustic performances and legendary shows at The Avalon, The Thirsty Whale, The Vic Theatre only cemented UZI's reputation as the band not to miss.
In the fall of 1990 UZI earned a trip to Los Angeles to perform at Concrete Management's "Foundations Forum" which was a metal music clinic and promotional event that was headlined by Judas Priest. UZI brought their high energy metallic show and rocked the audience at the LAX Ramada Inn. During the trip the band ventured into Hollywood were they were impressed with the mobs on the thriving Sunset Strip music scene.
Upon returning to Chicago, a decision was made to relocate the band to L.A. Unwilling to make the move Paul Petrillo resigned his sticks to local slammer Andy "P Blaze" Blaszcak and Flynt took over guitar for Ben Taylor who left to start his own band.
Now as a four piece UZI went back into Chicago Trax to record 3 more songs with Ursini again producing. "Madhouse", "For The Money", and "Love from the Gutter" displayed songwriting growth. The sound was heavier and darker and immediately embraced by their fans.
After a performing a run of capacity crowd farewell shows and a week before Thanksgiving UZI loaded up their gear and headed west for the City Of Angels. The band was immediately welcomed in Hollywood as a quality act and only weeks after their arrival they were booked into the legendary "Strip Clubs" Gazzaris, The Wiskey, The Roxy and The Coconut Teaszer.
In early 1992 the band continued to rehearse and record in their North Hollywood house that was fitted with used carpet to dampen the volume.
In early spring, six months into the move, acclimating to California proved to be too much for drummer Blaze and he headed back to The Windy City. The band auditioned local drummers and after growing discouraged with the results, flew out original drummer Dan Parker out to fill the position.
In the summer of 1992 a handful of shows were performed with satisfactory results though by fall as frustrations and musical changes were taking shape the group officially disbanded. UZI's official run had ended two-thousand miles from where it all started.
4) The American Uzi was a ten-handed combo that burned briefly but brightly in the fertile post-Burma Boston music scene of the mid-1980's. Its founding members were drummer Danny Lee and guitarist/singer/lyricist Thalia Zedek. The basic stylistic conflict between Thalia's garage-based rock 'n' roll background and Danny's more high-tech, modernistic approach gave the group much of its unique edge and led, as well, to its early demise.
Lee and Zedek were joined in late 1983 by bassist Randy Barnwell, guitar-effects whiz Bob Young, and tape specialist Phil Milstein. Barnwell was replaced by Craig Federhen for a brief basement interlude, but returned before Uzi's first show and continued with them for the bulk of the band's duration.
Sleep Asylum was recorded sporadically between 1984-85, including a period when Uzi was between bass players and used Dave Shibler in a session role. Irv Ziskind became the group's final bassist just after Sleep Asylum was completed. His addition cemented Uzi's lineup and provoked them to a new songwriting peak, but Zedek and Lee found themselves moving further and further into their respective corners. Uzi was dismatled just before Sleep Asylum's release in the spring of '86, and never did get to record another album's worth of great material they had written.
Uzi's breakup caught Homestead Records holding the bag on yet another of its many posthumous releases. Consequently, in spite of initial critical acclaim, Sleep Asylum never reached much beyond the East coast of the U.S. Once out of print, continuing word-of-mouth delivered Sleep Asylum to its current status as one of those records heard of more than heard.

7) UZI is a punk band from Bogotá, Colombia.

I remember I used to play that pinball game
Let's go
Lil Uzi Vert
Ooh, you better move
That was before I had internet
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
You better move, you better move
You better move, you better move
Louis my shoes, pull out my whip on 22's
I saw your girl, I had to scoop
Just like a bird she gonna swoop
Neck is achoo, might catch the flu
Banana clip, straight from the zoo
I'm like, Mother Goose, if I say shoot
They're gonna shoot
No I'm not sweet, I just got flavor
Don't need no water to mix up this juice
They say, "Why your chained? It look like a choker?"
That's for the slaves that had to wear the noose
Uh, no you can't cuff me, baby, let me loose
The way that I live, baby, that's a roof
Matching closet, it came with a pool
Bro moving 8 balls, not no pool
If you ask me his name then I don't have a clue (whoa)
Make 'em hit the folks every time that I shoot
Too much money, I'm evil from the root
Yeah, my shows they bust right through the roof
Saw your crowd at your concert on snooze
I'm a dog, bitch, I howl at the moon
I remember when I didn't have cable
That was back when I used to watch Zoom
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
You better move, you better move
You better move, you better move
Louis my shoes, pull out my whip on 22's
I saw your girl, I had to scoop
Just like a bird she gonna swoop
Neck is achoo, might catch the flu
Banana clip, straight from the zoo
I live my life like a cartoon
Reality is not my move
I don't know why that girl so rude
Oh, that's 'cause her jeans they from Rhude
You better have you a real good excuse
He want the smoke but I don't got a Juul
I'm like, Mother Goose, if I say shoot
They're gonna shoot
Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh, you wanna duel?
Blue-Eyes White Dragon, no I will not lose
When I hit my dance got unlimited moves
Counting twelve thousand and that was by noon
Yeah, step on competition, changing my shoes
Green shirt, bitch I'm Steve, where is Blue?
Every chain on I pity a fool
I'm an iPod, man, you more like a Zune
Made her eat on my dick with a spoon, ew
Versace drawers, bitch, you Fruit of the Loom
Yeah, yeah, Fruit to the Loom
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move

I wrote this game (Space Cadet Pinball) about the time Lil Uzi was born in 1994. We released it in '95, when he was about a year old. I take no credit for the sound design though, I was just the programmer! But does that make me pre-OG?
