My folder construction looks like this:  
UGK(1996) Ridin' Dirty\UGK - One Day.mp3  
Is there any script that exports artist, album and year from folder?

Use the converter filename - tag and enter

%albumartist%(%year%) %album%\%artist% - %title%

The same can be achieved with an action of the type "Guess values" for \_FILENAME
