In this episode of The Laboratory with Plaz, we sit down with legendary Bay Area hip hop artist Yukmouth of the Luniz! We dive deep into the making of the iconic hit “I Got 5 On It”, the classic remix, and how Yuk himself wrote the unforgettable hook. He opens up about going solo, signing with Rap-A-Lot Records, and why owning your masters and publishing is so important.
Yukmouth also shares stories about his favorite diss track, growing up in the Ville eating fried bologna sandwiches, and how he and Master P squashed their beef over the “Ice Cream Man” slogan. We revisit the golden era of the late 90’s Bay Area scene, Plaz’s 49ers vs. Yukmouth’s Raiders rivalry, and his unforgettable performance at a Sacramento Kings game where even Steph Curry couldn’t take his eyes off him HA HA.
We also talk about Smoke-A-Lot Radio, his track with Plaz “All My Life”, and much more. This episode is packed with hip hop history, laughs, and gems you don’t want to miss!
