Although U-N-I‘s home region of Southern California is the birthplace of gangsta rap, the Inglewood duo chose to forgo the formerly popular genre for a fresher approach to hip-hop. Named after their representation of the ”U-N-I to the Verse,” emcee’s Y-O and Thurzday spit about a Beautiful Day, reminding listeners that as long as you’re still breathing, life is beautiful. Adding a laid-back, keyboard-sax tinged beat is producer Diabolic. For more fresh-sounding music, check out U-N-I’s street album, Fried Chicken & Watermelon, currently available locally and via online retailers.
Yes! These are my guys. Look out for that Young Son and U.N.I collab coming soon. We are in talks about it at the moment. I've been bumping these cats for a little over a half a year every since I heard "K.R.E.A.M", their remake of the famous Wu Tang joint, except with a interesting twists about "Kicks" instead of Cash. Diabolic's production is real nice. My boy Thurzday killed it. This is a banger. I definitely dig the vibe. If y'all haven't yet, y'all should go come Fried Chicken & Watermelon. It's been out for a while and it's flame.
U-N-I you have saved Dj booth's night. This song is Hot as A skillet! I thought they stoped makin music like this. I have never heared of yall, but I this song gives me something I can look 4ward to from my city. Give us a entire album of this right here, and you'll have a fan in me.
too extremely laid back. Nice lyircs.... What is this i hear of young son and these guys collaborating on? I hope it will be good. Cause i kind of like both, but combined will be something different.
BDF44... we don't make the music man, we just feature it. If you are ever unimpressed with our feature selection, hit me up and we can discuss other newer records for the future. Your input is HUGE. As for this record, U-N-I is doin' the damn thing. Turn it on and immediately you feel like it's '88.
never lykd this type of hip hop much ..souls of mischief was it for me or Tribe .. so to be fair wont rate it cos i dont know sh1t bout dis .. but nice .. nice is bad aye? haha
"Beautiful Day" is one of my favorite tracks of '08 and U-N-I is on the top of my list for most impressive new artists. I purchased their album on through their MySpace page and it is truly a refreshing project coming out of So Cal. They recently said in a radio interview that their representing the new age LA hip-hop that sways away from the popularized gangsta rap norm. The vibe on this record is ridiculous from start to finish. I always thought that there should have been a third verse with Y-O and Thurzday exchanging lines. The music video is also hot! It feels so good...
^dido that comment... a Tribe Called Quest would have killed this beat, but these guys definitely did their thing on it. I love the whole 93' feel I get from it. It brought back a LOT of good memories
2008's Summertime. If this doesn't make you wanna fire up that BBQ or ride down the block with the top down, well... I don't know what to say. Anyway, a little off topic, but didn't Nappy Roots have an album with a similar title??
PattyPatty85 your comment sounds like your contradicting yourself... Its real hip hop but not to you? You call it a banger but wont listen to it again? Please elaborate...
This track is as smooth as the Fresh Prince of Bel Air! They remind me of Camp-Lo! The vibe is ill, you can mos def ride out to this one.
WOW dont judge a book by the cover. i was not expecting this hotness based on their picture. the whole tribe called quest/pharcyde feel to this track is soo refreshing. in rotation!
