    Early life[edit]

    Cut Chemist graduated from University of California, Los Angeles in 1997.[7]

    Career[edit]

    Cut Chemist became known through the Los Angeles-based rap group Unity Committee.[3] The group merged with another group, Rebels of Rhythm, to form Jurassic 5.[3]

    In 2004, Cut Chemist released The Litmus Test, which included his solo tracks, remixes, and Jurassic 5 tracks.[8]

    He left Jurassic 5 in 2004.[9] In a 2006 interview with Billboard, he stated that he had left the group in order to get his solo album finished.[10]

    His first solo studio album, The Audience's Listening, was released on July 11, 2006.[11] In 2015, it was listed by Vice as the 49th greatest dance album of all time.[12] "The Audience Is Listening Theme Song," the song from the album, has been featured in an iPod Nano advertisement.[13]

    In 2010, he released a DJ mix, Sound of the Police.[14] It was recorded using a turntable, a mixer, and a loop pedal.[15]

    His second solo studio album, Die Cut, was released on March 2, 2018.[16] It featured guest appearances from Chali 2na, Biz Markie, Mr. Lif, and Myka 9, among others.[17]
