Oakland rap duo Luniz, originally named Luni Tunz, consisted of Yukmouth and Numskull, childhood friends who began making music together in junior high. Their big break came with an appearance on Dru Down’s Explicit Game album, leading to their 1995 debut, Operation Stackola. The album, propelled by the platinum hit “I Got 5 on It,” topped the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, even dethroning Michael Jackson’s HIStory. Known for their humorous and relatable takes on sex, drugs, and everyday life, Luniz released Lunitik Muzik (1997) and Silver & Black (2002) before eventually parting ways.
