Before the end of Grand Royal Records came, Kut Masta Kurt lent his skills to some of the best Grand Royal artist remixes out there for the Beastie Boys, Hurricane, Buffalo Daughter, and Luscious Jackson. That gives you an idea of just how active he was moonlighting for the people at G-Son.
When not working on Grand Royal remixes Kurt himself doing a great deal of producing. Kurts production credits include Dilated Peoples hit "Work the Angles", and songs for Planet Asia, Rasco and Chino XL. Hes also has remixes released by Blackalicious and DJ Spooky to name a few. However, this producer may be best known for his work on Kool Keiths Dr. Octagon, Sex Style, DR. Dooom, Black Elvis, and Matthew albums. However if Kurts stock was measured by the number of remix request he gets it would make just about any Fortune 500 Company blush. Kurts resume' starts back in 1990 with Tim Dogs" F--K Compton" remix. The Funky Redneck aka Kut Masta Kurt along with Kool-Keith and their production team known as the Diesel Truckers is also responsible for one of Rap Musics most successful independent releases of 1999,"First Come, First Served" by Keiths alias DR. Dooom.
Instead of always doing for others, Kurt has put his name on an album full of his own material: Presents Masters of Illusion. Kurt doesn't stray far for lyrical reinforcment as he plucks dysfuctional associates Kool-Keith and bay area bomber Motion Man to help him out on this release. Kurt's own label Threshold Recordings is the home now of these hip hop legends.
