U-N-I
IN 1999, AT THEIR FIRST DAY AT ST. BERNARD HIGH SCHOOL, Y-O MET THURZDAY, ANOTHER RAW MC. DURING LUNCH THEY WOULD HAVE FREESTYLE BATTLES THAT WOULD GET THE WHOLE SCHOOL WILD. THEY QUICKLY RECOGNIZED EACH OTHER’S TALENTS.
TOGETHER AS “U-N-I”, THEY HAVE OPENED UP FOR REDMAN AT THE SNEAKER PIMPS TOUR IN LOS ANGELES, AND CHICAGO’S VERY OWN, LUPE FIASCO AT THE KEY CLUB ON SUNSET. THEY HAVE CONQUERED AIRWAVES ON POWER 106FM IN THE MIX WITH DJ RAPHIKI, AND ON 93.5 KDAY WITH THE GOODFELLAS. THEY ARE CURRENTLY FEATURED IN THE FOURTH EDITION OF SCHEME MAGAZINE, AND HAVE BEEN INDUCTED AS THE FIRST SCHEME MAGAZINE ARTIST, OR SCHEMERS. U-N-I CAN BE SEEN ON SCHEME MAG’S WEBSITE AT HTTP://SCHEMEMAG.COM/SCHEMERS/U-N-I.
RECENTLY THEY HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN URB MAGAZINE’S NEXT 1000. THE NEXT 1000 IS WHERE URB SCOURS THE GLOBE TO BRING YOU 20 BREAKING ARTISTS PER WEEK FOR A WHOLE YEAR. U-N-I RECEIVED A COPIOUS AMOUNT OF VOTES AND YOU CAN ADD A VOTE AND COMMENT AT HTTP://WWW.URB.COM/PROMOTIONS/NEXT1000/PROFILE.PHP?BANDID=371.
CURRENTLY U-N-I IS PROMOTING THEIR STREET ALBUM, “FRIED CHICKEN AND WATERMELON.” LACED WITH 14 TRACKS OF COMPLEX, THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND PLAYFUL LYRICISM COUPLED WITH SURE-FIRE BEATS, “FRIED CHICKEN AND WATERMELON” IS SET TO BREAK THE STEREOTYPE GIVEN TO WEST COAST RAPPERS. THEY HAVE RECEIVED GREAT REVIEWS ON OKAYPLAYER.COM AND RAPMULLET.COM, AND HAVE BEEN RECEIVED WITH OPEN ARMS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC.
“IT’S NOT GANGSTA RAP, IT’S FRESH NEW HIP HOP MUSIC FROM 2007 AND BEYOND.” -Y-O
THE STREET ALBUM ALSO INCLUDES HOT PRODUCTION FROM SWIFF D, RO BLVD, MOUFAHZA, PROH MIC, DIABOLIC AND DAME TAYLOR.
U-N-I IS SET OUT TO BRING A NEW SOUND TO THE GAME, WHILE KEEPING IN THE MIND THE TRUE FUNDAMENTALS OF HIP-HOP. UNFAZED AND DETERMINE, U-N-I IS BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS BY ATTRACTING PEOPLE FROM ALL DIFFERENT AREAS. IT’S NOT JUST AN URBAN SOUND, BUT ALSO SUBURBAN. U-N-I, SHORT FOR “U-N-I TO THE VERSE,” (LIKE YOU AND I) IS DETERMINED TO UNITE PEOPLE WHEREVER THEY PERFORM. THROUGH THEIR UNIQUE SOUND AND RAW TALENT, THESE VERSATILE AND AUTHENTIC ARTISTS WON’T STOP UNTIL THEIR MESSAGE OF UNITY GETS ACROSS. FROM ASIAN, TO BLACK TO LATINO, EVERYONE IS CERTAIN TO VIBE WITH THEM.
i feel like
we at the center of the u-n-i verse
and the sun is my heart
so i shine through the verse
radiant like l.a. sunshine
so lets crack the head
no coke in mine
live for today aint promised life
roll with the windows
down breathe the night
as the
sun sets and the mornin breaks
just thank god you was able to wake
give a kiss to ya girl
a kiss to ya moms
a dap for my niggas
that have to bear arms
on a beautiful day
keep it neutral
let's all try to be beautiful people
respect life
your life is respected
turn this tune up
don't damn reject it
don't front
you know i got ya open
check the dialect on the diaphragm my man
I take sips of the o.j.
scramble the egg with some butter on my three pancakes
lick the fingers when i'm done
take a look outside
i see the sun just begun
so i hops in the shower
i'm lying if i said fifteen cause it takes about an hour
and i see its 75 degrees
theres no need for me to rock the long sleeve
i'm hot i'm cold
i'm cool i'm hot
i see the tree the kids the block
beautiful little neighbor gave a sexy nod
one cup of this kool-aid to set the day right
so i'm off to the sunshine
never waste days like this
take advantage of the one lied
keep your faith in the sky (why)
thats where the heaven is (why)
thats where dream is well aint it?
(HOOK)
now put ya glasses up
you can roll it up
you can drink to this
you can smoke to this
you can roll to this
put your windows down and
bump this sound through any hood
it feels good
Just a beautiful day
It feels so good
Just a beautiful day
It feels so good
Just a beautiful day
Just pump it up and just vibe
