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.

9) Utku Yalçınkaya aka. UZI, 1998 İstanbul, Beyoğlu doğumludur. Hayatının çoğu kısmını Güngören'de geçiren UZI‘nin, rap müzik ile tanışması kuzenleri aracılığıyla ilkokul üçüncü sınıfta gerçekleşiyor. UZI'nin ilk mahlası “Çavo'ydu(Chavo)”. Bu mahlas İspanyollardan gelmekteydi. Mahlasında değişiklik arayan UZI, en sonunda bir abisi tarafından “Bu çocuk rap yaparken tarıyor” demesinden esinlenerek mahlasını “UZI” olarak belirlemiştir.
2018 yılında M.O.B bünyesine katıldıktan sonra parçalarını Lil Murda ile birlikte “GNG” isminde yayınladılar. GNG olarak ilk albümünü “Output Nr.1” isminde yayınlayıp büyük bir ivme yakaladılar. Albümün çıkış parçası “Hızlı Sokaklar” ise büyük ilgi toplayarak UZI‘nin yükselmesine basamak olmuştur.
Daha sonrasında GNG grubunu ayıran UZI, müziğine tek başına devam etme kararı almıştır. 2019 yılında “Favela” adlı EP albümü piyasaya süren UZI, “Favela” parçasıyla global playlistlere girerek gözleri üstüne çekmeyi başarmıştır.
2020 yılında ise yayınladığı teklilerle Türkçe Sözlü Rap müziğe hızlı giren UZI, yılın sonuna doğru “Makina” şarkısını çıkararak ülke çapında büyük bir işe imza atmıştır.
Yükselişine hızlıca devam eden UZI, 2021 yılının Mart ayında ilk stüdyo albümü “Kan‘ı” yayınlayarak müzik sektörü ve medyanın ilgisini çekerek kendini müzik piyasasına tanıtmıştır.

Plah, plah, plah, plah
Plah, plah (ouh, ouh)
J'vais t'shooter imbécile (hey, bye, bye)
J'crois qu'c'est fini, j'vais t'shooter imbécile
Mon Glock est fe-neu, assorti au platine
Wesh, c'est la folie, Neverland dans l'bolide
Et gros, reste tranquille, j'crois qu'on est rodés
J'suis dans ma cité, RS est garé
J'refuse le trophée, bitume, nique sa mère
Rat dans la zone et j'fais parti d'ces zonards
J'ramène d'la frappe dans mon tieks
Bang, ça shoote dans la tess
On gère le business, on encaisse
Tu douilles, on vient à ton adresse
J'peux pas t'voir ce soir, j'suis trop pété (j'suis pété)
Ma vie, d'un côté, c'est compliqué (c'est compliqué)
Des coups d'fil, m'y rendre, j'suis obligé
Je la vends, je la fume, je les baise
Au cas où y a des bons turn up dans ma veste
J'suis devenu le R, c'est ma tête dans la presse
J'suis toujours le même capuché dans mon binks
J'suis toujours au fond, j'suis à l'aise dans ma tess
Oui, j'suis dans l'binks, tout pour le gang, no pain
Dis moi ton prix p'tite pute?
Fonce-dé dans l'club, j'ai pris le max de 'teilles
Le pire c'est qu'j'ai pas bu une goute, bâtard
C'est la promenade, il a jeté c'qu'il faut
C'est la folie si il sonne aux portiques
Y a des litres à mort, j't'envoie mon p'tit
J'suis en cabine mais j'ai pris 38
C'est la promenade, il a jeté c'qu'il faut
C'est la folie si il sonne aux portiques
Y a des litres à mort, j't'envoie mon p'tit
J'suis en cabine mais j'ai pris 38
J'ai zoné, j'ai volé, maman, désolé
J'voulais des violets, j'ai dû fracasser des sons-mai
J'fais l'tour de la ville, ouais, j'recompte que du mauve
J'me balade, skalape dans mon jean pas l'temps d'faire du ciné'
Le Uzave, il plaît à c'qu'il paraît
Faut pas merder, y a beaucoup d'appareils
Il veut jouer, on va l'mettre aux arrêts
J'serais pépère à Marseille, aux jarrets
C'est qu'une question d'temps (t'entends?)
Pour l'instant, c'est une question d'plan (plan, plan)
J'fais du rap, c'est une question d'pain (plan, plan)
Y a des mes-ar graves, y a des 5.30
Ils font la cité, ils ont pas d'sorties
On écarte danger quand t'es à la cantine
On était par terre, on a prit les centimes (eh)
J'vais ranger deux platines chez Sadji
C'est les rois des incapables
T'as entendu l'écho, j'ai d'la patate (eh)
Le fils a d'la zep dans son cartable (eh)
J'peux racheter l'épicerie du paka (eh, eh, eh)

J'suis à la cité avec Cartel de Cali
En esprit, capuché dans Paris
On était nia, on transforme les miettes
Uzi et RK, ça date pas d'hier

T'es pas prêt, j'peux pas t'faire enquiller
C'est la promenade, il a jeté c'qu'il faut
C'est la folie si il sonne aux portiques

The song Violet, by the French rapper Uzi, tells the story of his life in the cité (housing projects) where he grew up. In the first verse, he speaks about his Glock being "fe-neu" (new), which is slang for "fresh" or "brand new" and how it matches with the platine (platinum) color of his car. Uzi also mentions his appearance on the show Rapelite and showcases his wealth and power with lines such as "On gère le business, on encaisse" (We manage the business, we cash in).
The chorus describes Uzi and his friends preparing to leave the cité for a "promenade" (walk) while bringing a 38 (gun) and preparing to fight if necessary. Uzi then admits to stealing and causing trouble, apologizing to his mother for his actions. He mentions wanting "violets" (money) and the need to "fracasser des sons-mai" (break into cars) to get them. Despite his rough exterior, Uzi enjoys the simple things in life, such as counting money, which he does in "mauve" bills, and wearing his favourite brand Fendi.
Overall, the song portrays the gritty and often violent reality of life in the cité, and how its residents use any means necessary to survive and succeed.
