A rapper originating from Oakland, California in the Bay Area. He is the CEO of Smoke-A-Lot Records, a subsidiary of Rap-A-Lot Records. Originally, Yukmouth was one half of the Luniz who were notable for producing one of the greatest weeds songs of all time, I Got Five On It. After the group's split in the late 90s, Yukmouth went solo and produced several albums that did not sell well nationally due to lack of promotion, however, these albums were incredibly popular in the Bay Area and managed to sell incredibly well there. Yukmouth is best known for his beefs with numrerous other rappers, some of which appear to be genuine while most seem generated to sell records (see added definition below). Yukmouth has had lyrical battles from the likes of Master P, supposedly fellow Bay Area rapper Too $hort, 50 Cent, and most notably The Game.
