[edit] Biography
Kurious is of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent[1] and grew up in Spanish Harlem[2]. He debuted in 1991 on Rebel & Johnny Jay's track "Powerule" on Interscope Records' "Young Stars From Nowhere, Vol. 1". He then appeared on Pete Nice and Daddy Rich's album Dust II Dust. The duo helped Kurious get a record deal with Sony Music. In 1993, he released his first single "Walk Like A Duck". In 1994, Kurious released his debut album A Constipated Monkey which featured hit singles "I'm Kurious" and "Uptown Sh_t".
