  • The ‘90s saw plenty of great R&B groups, and one of the most promising was Kut Klose. The trio was featured on several of Keith Sweat’s massive hits before releasing their own music, like the 1995 song “I Like.”
    Despite their immediate success, they only released one album before they disappeared, and the truth about what happened to Kut Klose following their affiliation with Keith is messier than you could ever imagine.

Some of even the biggest names in the game was used to oblivion. Contracts has to seen by a lawyer that is yours and only yours not someone introduced by the label to you, I swear that’s even illegal cause there is conflict of interest. I feel for them.

He’s actually a decent guy.

I am not a huge Keith Sweat fan, but he put on a heck of a show. He mentioned the making of the LSG album during the show. Athena was there and she killed it on her part on "Nobody".

If the others would have been wise and not led "by the green-eyed monster", they would have followed suit and allowed the company to market them led by Athena.

    I loved how elegant and classy Kut Klose came off, especially in the music video for Twisted. I'd say them and En Vogue were the queens of being sexy but extremely classy. On another note, it's depressing how many 90s acts were done so wrong by the industry and even worse so how today, many people in the industry try to act like they don't exist anymore or don't give them their flowers. You know, at first I was very saddened to hear that they need help from the public to record their second album, but after watching this video, I'm just happy that they're all alive, together, and willing to put out another project. It still saddens me to think how they had the rest of their prime years basically stolen from them though. :/

    Great video RRG 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. This is why people rather go solo and release music on UA-cam and other social media platforms instead of signing a contract with a record label. Maybe sign up with a management/publishing company once you start getting off, but your career is based upon how much you work and promote yourself. That’s my suggestion for anyone who’s looking to get into the music industry, hell look at Erica Banks career. She started off on UA-cam and now she’s growing including Meg The Stallion until she made a mistake and signed up with a local Houston based label. Good job once again RRG

    I have their Surrender cd. I would put their talent on par with SWV and TLC. I Like is one of my favorite ballads of all time. The vocals in the 1st verse could melt butter. The lead changes from Lavonn in the beginning to Athena at the 2nd verse but it is difficult to hear the change. For that reason I don’t think Athena was favored because her vocals stood out. There must have been some other reason. In any case it’s a shame they didn’t get to continue. They had great vocal harmony and the sound was polished. Also the cd leaflet is well done which makes it even harder to believe a record company let them slip through the cracks. They each gave thanks to god, their families, extended families, and all that helped them. Then finally they give thanks as a group. Kut Klose was a great group name. Reading through all of it, I get a sense that even as young ones they were well-grounded with good hearts. Also, Keith Sweat did not write all the songs on their cd. He co-wrote a few, they co-wrote a few, and others were written by other writers. Keith is listed as the executive producer of the cd.

Now, he wants no parts of any of them and refuses to speak about the entire group. Seems like a personal relationship went bad. Perhaps that is the root of why things happened the way they did. Mixing business with pleasure can turn into a bad deal.
