Biography
Kurious is of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent, and grew up in Spanish Harlem.[1][2] He debuted in 1991 on Powerule's "Young Stars from Nowhere". He then appeared on Pete Nice and DJ Richie Rich's album Dust to Dust. The duo helped Kurious get a record deal with Columbia Records via Bobbito and Pete Nice's Hoppoh imprint. In 1992, he released his first single, "Walk Like a Duck". In 1994, Kurious released his debut album A Constipated Monkey, which featured the hit singles "I'm Kurious" and "Uptown Shit". Despite the success of the singles, the album was not commercially successful.[citation needed]
Shortly after the album's release, Kurious seemingly disappeared from the music scene. In 1999, he reemerged on MF DOOM's album Operation: Doomsday on the track "?" and contributed a track to a Monsta Island Czars Mixtape, under the alias Biollante. Amalgam Digital reissued A Constipated Monkey with bonus tracks in 2007.[citation needed]
