Are U Xperienced? is the debut album by hip hop duo Yomo & Maulkie, named after the Jimi Hendrix album Are You Experienced. It was released on September 17, 1991, by Ruthless Records and was produced by DJ Yella and Eazy-E. Though the album was met with some positive reviews, the album was a commercial failure and did not appear on any album charts. Four singles were released: "Are U Xperienced?" "Mockingbird," "Mama Don't," and "Glory," but none of them made it to the Billboard charts. Labelmate Jimmy Z was featured on the album.
Parts of the song "For the Love of Money" (including Jewell's backing vocals) were later recycled on the track "Foe tha Love of $" by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, from their 1994 album Creepin on ah Come Up. The instrumental version of "For the Love of Money" also appeared on Creepin on ah Come Up under the title "Moe Cheese".
