Kutt Calhoun Confesses Not Being Bitter About Leaving Strange Music & Hopes To Work With Tech N9ne Again

HipHopDx recently had the opportunity to interview Kutt Calhoun. In the interview Kutt speaks on various topics including:

  • Leaving Strange Music
  • How Much He Received On Strange Music
  • His Own Black Gold Label

I’ve attached part of the interview below. A link to the full interview can also be found below.

 

Part of Interview:

DX: I saw the video some time ago where you explained your relationship with Strange Music. The news of you leaving the label has been around since later last year. What made you come out with the video now?

Kutt Calhoun: Well, you know, what made me come out with the video now was that I had to get things together on my end. I started trying to pick beats and it took me a while. Finding the right beats because everyone and their momma wanted to send me beats but, that didn’t mean everything was good. The first thing I was doing was getting my Black Gold Entertainment; getting the business part of it taken care of. At the same time, I was also picking beats and formulating the right theme for my EP. Just trying to get business taken care of. Once that started flowing smoothly I’m like now these fans are waiting on music and want to know what’s going on. I was trying to keep them updated through little videos on Instagram but now it got to a point to where I did my photoshoot, got my press photos, media photos and stuff together. Now, I’m like I have to put something out there and give them an explanation on what’s going on. Especially the diehard fans, they deserve an explanation for those who have been there since day one. I want to give them an explanation and at the same time let the new fans that may not know who I am or Tech fans who think it was a bad move for me to leave Strange Music because they don’t know. I wanted to kind-of like clear the air with an explanation. I wanted to do this professionally so I met up with my dude who did the photoshoot and shot the video. It was just about timing. I put out the freestyle first and the second was the explanation video. I was just trying to bring everyone up-to-date and let everyone know I got new music coming out. Also, just letting everyone know why I left Strange Music. The fans deserved to know that.

DX: At this point, Strange Music is pretty huge in terms of being an independent label. When was the moment where you actually made that decision to leave? Any doubts?

Kutt Calhoun: No, I never doubted it at all. Maybe if I was a newer artists signed to Strange Music around 2010, 2011, or 2012. But, I’ve been with Strange since the beginning. I’ve been there and helped build the corporation from the ground up. So, I know all the ends and outs and been apart of everything that took Strange Music to where it is. I didn’t have any doubt at all, I knew exactly why I was leaving, the reason for leaving and if everything would have been straight I would have stayed. When I made that clear minded decision that was kind-of long overdue, I was waiting sitting stagnant hoping things would get better for me before I got to the realization that it wasn’t going to happen. We’re just getting older each day and when I made that decision, it was very clear minded. I 100 percent stuck to the decision I made and was definitely ready. I wasn’t shaky about it or anything or hesitant. No worry about whether or not I made the right or wrong move. Not at all, not at all.
