They are primarily known for their 1999single "A Little Bit of Luck", which started as a promotionaldubplate, released at the price of£5.[citation needed] The track peaked at No. 9 in the United Kingdom in January 2000.[1] In the same year they released acover of "Master Blaster (Jammin)" byStevie Wonder, retitled "Masterblaster 2000", which featured the vocals ofJJ, who is on a number of Luck & Neat's songs. The track was their highest British chart entry, reaching No. 5 in June 2000. Their version ofOllie & Jerry's "Breakin'...

After the initial three chart hits they enjoyed, the majority of their work, along with their debut album, wasproduced along with, or by, theunderground musician Shy Cookie, who was responsible for the shift in their music from beingsample-based to using programmed (original) and live instruments, helping them to maintain underground credibility that in turn helped fuel their mainstream success.[citation needed]
