==Music career== Kurupt debuted as a recording artist via three songs on the S.O.S. Band's 1991 album ''One of Many Nights''.
===Death Row Records=== Kurupt first met rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg in 1991 at age 19 at a rap showcase at The Roxy Theatre. After the show, a woman challenged Snoop’s group and brought out Kurupt to battle them. Kurupt outrapped everyone, prompting Snoop to step in. The two battled intensely for 15–20 minutes before realizing neither was gaining ground. They ended the battle by showing mutual respect, complimenting each other’s skills, and Snoop told Kurupt that if he ever made it, he’d help him get on—marking the beginning of their relationship. After Snoop made his debut appearance on the 1992 song "Deep Cover" with record producer Dr. Dre and rose to prominence, he introduced Kurupt to Dre at Dre's birthday party at his house. After performing at the party, he subsequently joined Dre and his manager Suge Knight's new fledgling label, Death Row Records, in 1992.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Quiñones |first=Ben |title=Moment of Truce |url=https://www.laweekly.com/moment-of-truce/ |website=LA Weekly |publisher=LA Weekly |date=2006-06-28 |access-date=2025-11-27}}</ref>
At Death Row, Kurupt joined a roster of artists—including Daz Dillinger, Lady of Rage, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, and RBX—who entered the mainstream by their features on Dr. Dre's debut solo album ''The Chronic''. Kurupt and Daz soon teamed as a rap duo, Tha Dogg Pound, featured on Snoop Dogg's debut solo album, ''Doggystyle'', in the song "For All My Niggaz & Bitchez".
By 1996, the rap genre's East Coast–West Coast rivalry was escalating, spurred on by Death Row's CEO Suge and by rapper 2Pac, new to the label, who believed that a Bad Boy Records circle, in their hometown New York City, had fostered his November 1994 shooting there. Tha Dogg Pound released the single "New York, New York," featuring Snoop Dogg, slighting the city. The duo's debut album, ''Dogg Food'', produced by Daz and mixed by Dre, drew favorable reviews and good sales.
===Career after Death Row=== 2Pac's 1996 murder triggered an exodus of artists from Death Row Records. Preceded only by Dr. Dre, Kurupt was second to leave. He then signed with A&M Records, where he co-founded the imprint Antra Records with Philadelphia-based attorney Joseph M. Marrone, releasing his debut solo album ''Kuruption!'' in 1998.<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Adam|last=Sandler|url=https://variety.com/1998/music/news/a-m-kurupt-launch-hip-hop-label-antra-1117469400/|title=A&M, Kurupt launch hip-hop label Antra|magazine=Variety|date=April 1, 1998}}</ref> Kurupt released his second album, ''Tha Streetz Iz a Mutha'', featuring the diss track "Calling Out Names", in which Kurupt insults New York rap figures Ja Rule, 50 Cent, Irv Gotti, and DMX, accusing the latter of having an affair with Kurupt's then-fiancée Foxy Brown.<ref>{{cite web|first=Kairi|last=Cole|url=https://www.xxlmag.com/today-hip-hop-kurupt-drops-tha-streetz-iz-a-mutha/|title=Today in Hip-Hop: Kurupt Drops 'Tha Streetz Iz A Mutha' Album|website=XXL|date=November 16, 2017}}</ref>
During this time, he linked up with Ras Kass, Wu-Tang Clan-affiliate Killah Priest, and Canibus to form a new group, The HRSMN, although, despite promises of forthcoming material, has released only an unfinished white label.
While Death Row owned rights to Tha Dogg Pound name, Kurupt and Daz operated as the DPG (Dogg Pound Gangstaz), and also with a larger group, including Nate Dogg, Snoop Dogg, Soopafly, and others intermittently, altogether the DPGC (Dogg Pound Gangsta Clique). Daz and Kurupt, as the DPG, released ''Dillinger & Young Gotti'', which received lukewarm reviews.<ref>{{cite web|last=Azpiri |first=Jon |url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r527682|pure_url=yes}} |title=((( Dillinger & Young Gotti > Overview ))) |publisher=allmusic |date=May 1, 2001 |access-date=June 12, 2010}}</ref> Kurupt's following solo album, ''Space Boogie: Smoke Oddessey'', with production by Daz and by up-and-coming producer Fredwreck, and released by Artemis Records, fared better. Kurupt's then-fiancée, the late Natina Reed, performed the hook of its single "It's Over".<ref>{{cite web|first=Shaheem|last=Reid|date=July 26, 2001|url=https://www.mtv.com/news/f647z9/kurupt-has-one-album-in-the-top-10-another-on-his-mind|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230322223903/https://www.mtv.com/news/f647z9/kurupt-has-one-album-in-the-top-10-another-on-his-mind|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 22, 2023|title=Kurupt Has One Album In The Top 10, Another On His Mind|website=MTV News}}</ref>
===Return to Death Row=== In early 2002, an unofficial remix/compilation album titled ''2002'', by Tha Dogg Pound, provoked questions about the duo's relationship with Death Row. Soon becoming its vice president, Kurupt signed again to Death Row.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.646/title.kurupt-on-death-row-part-2#/|title=Kurupt on Death Row? Part 2!|website=hiphopdx.com|date=15 January 2002}}</ref> Given Daz's especial enmity for Death Row's mogul Knight, Kurupt and Daz began feuding, repeatedly bashing each other on records and in interviews.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hiphop.at/forum/international-rap/kurupt-interview-strikes-back-daz-6185.html |title=Kurupt Interview (Strikes back to Daz) – hiphop.at Forum – Österreichs größte Hiphop Community |publisher=Hiphop.at |access-date=2010-06-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090111084912/http://www.hiphop.at/forum/international-rap/kurupt-interview-strikes-back-daz-6185.html |archive-date=2009-01-11 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://ambrosiaforheads.com/2015/05/daz-speaks-on-suge-knight-causing-his-beef-with-kurupt-and-how-it-was-resolved-video/|title=Daz Speaks on Suge Knight Causing His Beef With Kurupt and How It Was Resolved (Video)|publisher=Ambrosia For Heads |date=May 21, 2015|access-date=June 12, 2018}}</ref>
In 2003, Kurupt released DJ Tomekk the single Ganxtaville Pt. III and placed fifth on the German charts, as well as in the charts of Austria and Switzerland.
While mentoring Death Row's new artists, including Spider Loc, Crooked I, and Eastwood, Kurupt began his next album, ''Against tha Grain''. Further, he formed a new group, The Riflemen,<ref>[http://www.worldwideconnected.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=462] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071024234350/http://www.worldwideconnected.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=462|date=October 24, 2007}}</ref> consisting of Kurupt, Mobb Deep, Jayo Felony, 40 Glocc, and The Alchemist, although the likelihood of a record from this ensemble increasingly slimmed. In 2004, after repeated delays of Kurupt's forthcoming solo album ''Originals'', a bootleg version was released, alike those of Crooked I and other Death Row artists.
It was later revealed that Kurupt was more stung by his feud with Daz than he had acknowledged.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dubcnn.com/interviews/jwells08/|title=// J. Wells Interview (February 2008) // West Coast News Network // |publisher=Dubcnn.com |access-date=2010-06-12}}</ref> In April 2005, at a West Coast unity event hosted by Snoop Dogg, with Snoop as liaison, Kurupt and Daz reconciled and restored their rap duo under its original moniker, Tha Dogg Pound.<ref>[http://www.streethop.com/interviews/126054-dpg-dogg-pound-reunited.html] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080912234455/http://www.streethop.com/interviews/126054-dpg-dogg-pound-reunited.html|date=September 12, 2008}}</ref> In August 2005, Kurupt's long delayed album ''Against tha Grain'' was released, once Kurupt had already left Death Row a second time; he would publicly denounce the disses that he had included on the album, but an EP called ''Against tha Grain E.P.'' surfaced in 2007, containing said disses.

After putting out ''Digital Smoke'' with J. Wells in 2007, Kurupt released an album with his younger brother Roscoe titled ''The Frank and Jess Story'' in 2008. He also appeared on Snoop Dogg's 2008 album ''Ego Trippin'''.
Before ''100 Wayz'' was released in 2010, Tha Dogg Pound's ''Gangsta Grillz'' mixtape premiered, hosted by DJ Drama,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dubcnn.com/interviews/kurupt-problem/ |title=// Kurupt & Problem Interview (June 2008) // West Coast News Network // |publisher=Dubcnn.com |access-date=2010-06-12}}</ref> followed by an album called ''BlaQKout'' with DJ Quik on April 28, 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://allhiphop.com/features/dj-quik-straight-outta-cpt/|title=Features : DJ Quik: Straight Outta CPT |date=12 February 2009 |publisher=Allhiphop.com |access-date=2010-06-12}}</ref> The ''BlaQKout'' single, "Fuck Y'all," is a diss to former Quik partners AMG, Hi-C and 2nd II None.
