Melvin Lewis Calhoun Jr. (born January 1, 1977), better known by his stage name Kutt Calhoun, is an American rapper and business executive[citation needed] from Kansas City, Missouri.[1] After getting his start in the late 1990s underground rap scene of Kansas City,[2] he subsequently signed to Strange Music when the label was founded in 1999.[3] Calhoun released his debut album B.L.E.V.E. in 2004,[4] and his 2007 sophomore album Feature Presentation debuted at number 60 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[5] Calhoun's third album, Raw and Un-Kutt, made its debut at number 162 on the Billboard 200 chart in its first week of release,[6] as well as charting at No. 19 on the Top Heatseekers chart.[7]
Between 2011 and 2012 he released two EPs, Red-Headed Stepchild and Kelvin, both of which again charted high on Billboard, with Kelvin reaching No. 8 on Top Heatseekers.[8] Calhoun released his fourth studio album, Black Gold, in 2013,[9] and the album debuted at number 1 on Top Heatseekers.[10][11] With first-week sales of 4,300 copies in the United States,[12] the album met with positive critical response[13][14] from publications such as HipHopDX.[14] Splitting from Strange Music in 2014[15] on amicable terms,[3] he afterwards founded the record label Black Gold Entertainment.[16] His 2015 Kuttin Loose EP was the first release on the imprint.[17] Distributed through Empire Distribution,[18] it peaked at No. 16 on Heatseekers and No. 41 on the Top Rap Albums chart.[8] Again meeting with a positive response,[17] MetroActive wrote that the EP "demonstrates a devastating flow, razor sharp wit and some downright nasty Dirty South production."[3] Frequently touring the United States, by the end of 2015, Calhoun had embarked on his independent On My Own Tour.[19]
