Remember bumping Luniz’s “I Got 5 on It” in your ride, windows down, bass thumping?
Yeah, we all do—but what about the rest of their catalog that somehow slipped through the cracks?
Today, we’re dusting off five Luniz tracks you forgot about (but will have you hitting rewind like it’s 1995).
Trust us, these joints still bang harder than a screen door in a hurricane.
1. “Platinum & Ice” (1997)

Buried in their sophomore album *Lunitik Muzik*, this track is a glittering ode to the high life.
Produced by N.O. Joe, it’s got a smooth, jazzy beat that flips a Roy Ayers sample into a West Coast anthem.
Why’s it underrated?
Because everyone was too busy arguing over who paid for the blunt to notice this gem.
2. “Broke Hos” (1995)

Before “Money” became a rap cliché, Luniz dropped this hilarious, scathing take on gold diggers.
The beat?
A sinister piano loop that’ll make your neck snap.
It’s the perfect blend of humor and street wisdom—like if *Friday* was a song.
3. “Plead Guilty” (feat. Dru Down, 1995)

This *Operation Stackola* deep cut is a courtroom drama set to a funk-laced beat.
Yukmouth and Numskull spin tales of legal woes while Dru Down steals the show with his raspy hook.
It’s the kind of storytelling rap that’s sorely missed today.
4. “Yellow Brick Road” (1997)

No, not an NWA diss—this is Luniz at their most introspective.
Over a haunting Al Green sample, they reflect on fame’s pitfalls.
Fun fact: The track was almost shelved for being “too deep.”
Proof that even the Luniz had layers.
5. “Load It Up” (feat. Redman, 2002)

From their slept-on *Silver & Black* album, this is a smoke session turned into song.
Redman’s verse alone is worth the listen—it’s like he inhaled the entire studio.
Why’d it flop?
Blame the early 2000s rap slump, but don’t sleep on it now.
So, there you have it—five Luniz tracks that deserve a spot in your playlist rotation.
Next time someone says they only know “I Got 5 on It,” hit ’em with these and watch their jaw drop.
Still think Luniz were a one-hit wonder?
Didn’t think so.
