Kurupt has been a part of hip-hop history since he first stormed onto the scene with his appearance on the songs “Lyrical Gangbang”, “Stranded on Death Row”, and “bytches Ain’t shyt” from Dr. Dre’s multi-platinum solo debut The Chronic on Death Row Records in 1992. Since those incredible verse-stealing guest appearances, Kurupt has gone on to have a 25-plus year career in the music industry, making history along the way. He was an integral part to several of hip-hop’s most classic albums including Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle, Tha Dogg Pound’s Dogg Food with Daz Dillinger, and 2Pac’s All Eyez On Me, in addition to the aforementioned The Chronic with Dr. Dre, during his run on Death Row Records through the 1990’s.
Throughout the 2000’s Kurupt could be found smashing microphones on his many solo projects (Kuruption!, Tha Streetz Iz A Mutha, Space Boogie, and Streetlights), as well various guest spots throughout the emcee’s prolific career. Kurupt has been featured on records with some of the industry’s heaviest of hitters in Scarface, Xzibit, MC Ren, Heavy D, Ant Banks, Nate Dogg, Ras Kass, Warren G, Too Short, and Ice Cube to name a few.
Kurupt took some time out to sit down with DubCNN to discuss his 2017 single, the Fredwreck-produced “Inferno” and its accompanying video, working with DJ Pooh on “New York, New York”, as well as the producer/filmmaker’s Grow House movie soundtrack, the chemistry between himself and Dr. Dre during their collaborative efforts over the years, and drops some incredible behind-the-scenes stories on a few of his records from his vast catalog.
