About K-Cut

Born 1971. K-Cut is a musician and record producer.

Kevin McKenzie (born July 25, 1971), He and his brother Sir Scratch (Shawn McKenzie) were both DJs and attended John Bowne High School in Flushing, Queens, where K-Cut met future group member Large Professor. His mother was very supportive of her sons' aspiring hip hop careers, funding their studio time and becoming the manager of their group Main Source.

In 1991, the group released their debut album, Breaking Atoms, which is regarded as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. In 1993, he produced the Fu-Schnickens single "What's Up Doc? (Can We Rock)", featuring Shaquille O'Neal, which peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold in the United States. That year, Large Professor left Main Source due to business differences, with K-Cut taking over as the main producer for their 1994 album Fuck What You Think.

By the late 1990s, K-Cut moved back to Toronto, further contributing his production to the city's hip hop scene. He also produced two tracks for Choclair's 1999 debut Ice Cold, which won the aforementioned Juno Award.

As of 2016, he served as the touring DJ for Canadian singer Kiki Rowe. When producing music, he visualizes an artist performing over the beat, before presenting the beat to said artist; one such instance was when he produced "How We Roll '98" for Big Pun.
