Long before Cash Money and No Limit exposed the world to the New Orleans gumbo style of rap, NUTT KAZE was building a road into the music industry.

In 2000 NUTT KAZE got his first opportunity in the music industry dropping his first solo album "NUTT KAZE Vol.1," on self-owned record label UnderGround Funk Entertainment. In late 2001, NUTT KAZE was back in the lab more focused than ever. This time was more intense and he had more to prove. In early 2002, his second solo album entitled "It's Time" hit the streets. While taking a short break in 2003, in 2004 released his first video "F@#$ed Up" from his forth coming album with "Big Chan" of Snoop Dogg Doggy's Angles and label mate "YG" aka Gunna.
