We had the good fortune of connecting with yuk mouth and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi yuk, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
When me & NUM signed to C-NOTE RECORDS in 1993, our executive producer was down with TOO SHORT DANGEROUS MUSIC CREW…so between those two labels i soaked up the independent rap game. So, after our 2nd album LUNITIK MUZIK i was able to fund my own record label SMOKE A LOT RECORDS in 1996.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I started my rap career in 1993 with the GRAMMY NOMINATED, 4x PLATINUM Group (THE LUNIZ) with NUMSKULL..we dropped two albums (OPERATION STACKOLA & LUNITIK MUZIK) then i got signed to RAP A LOT RECORDS and started my solo career..did 7 albums on RAP A LOT RECORDS including the PLATINUM selling Double album (THUGGED OUT-THE ALBULATION) Which dropped in 1999…After Leaving RAP A LOT RECORDS In 2008, i signed myself to my own records label SMOKE A LOT RECORDS and have been dropping independent albums ever since…

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
