Meaning Behind the Name

Hailing from Humboldt County, California, known largely in California for the harvesting and routine consumption of "pot" or cannabis. Potluck promotes the cannabis lifestyle, respectively. Both artists have their Prop. 215 cards. Most of their songs, like most artists on the Suburban Noize record label, are about growing and/or smoking the plant.

"The name 'Potluck' doesn't mean 'a gathering with food,' it refers to the multiple ethnic groups that joined together to make their albums, almost like a potluck of ideas instead of food from a collection of cultures."—Underrated.

Potluck has collaborated with other artists such as the Luniz, Mr. GARTH-culti-VADER, Mali aka Mally, the Kottonmouth Kings, Stranger Haze, 4Saken, Playaz Lounge Crew, Tech N9ne, King Gordy, Glasses Malone, Krizz Kaliko, T-Trash, D12, Hed PE, Twiztid, T.O.N.E-z,Brokencyde,etc. who are also described as marijuana "activists". Underrated also acts as the group's producer, making most of the beats, and 1 Ton is in charge of touring.
