Known for his “Club Soda” series of mixtapes, Kid Cut Up developed the official promotional mix for Common’s album Universal Mind Control, and authored the official Scribble Jam Festival Mix for 2008. A recovering workaholic, he also burns daylight creating original remixes which he uses to elevate his live performances; his release, Super Mix, is comprised almost exclusively of proprietary remixes and unprecedented blends. The fruit of this labor has been featured in a variety of outlets, including, most notably, Kanye West’s blog “Univercity,” as well as websites like datpiff.com, 2dopeboyz.com and onSmash.com. Kid Cut Up has also had regular radio gigs co-creating the Madkids show on 91.7 WMSE (MKE) and is an active member of the Vocalo Collective on 89.5 WBEZ (CHI). As Kid Cut Up has begun to establish himself in the LA area with an ever expanding buzz he also continues to play throughout the Midwest, hitting the road on a monthly basis to rock parties nationwide.
