Born Alin Adrian Demeter in Pantelimon, Bucharest in 1978, gangsta rapper Uzzi grew up on the rough streets of Bucharest, Romania. In the early '90s, influenced by gangsta rap pioneers such as [a=Eazy-E] and [a=Ice-T], Demeter founded one of the first romanian hip hop groups, Demonii (The Demons), performing in Bucharest at local talent shows. In 1995, Drama, as he called himself, met [a=Tataee] and [a=Caddy (2)] at such a talent show and was invited to join [a=B.U.G. Mafia]. The group released their debut album, "Mafia", in late 1995. Uzzi is an instrumental part of the group, known for his low-pitched raspy voice.
