Kurious Jorge

The Official Kurious Jorge Youtube channel.

Kurious Jorge (Jorge Alvarez) has been in the game since 1991. An emcee from upper Manhattan, 97th and Amsterdam, those who know, respect his flow and his street-conscious lyrics. His songs don't stray far from what's going on in the neighborhood and how that affects the community. If it's a party anthem or an inquisition of the American dream, Kurious keeps it a hundred, true to his hip-hop, uptown, Cuban and Puerto Rican roots.
 
Kurious' first album, Constipated Monkey, is considered a go-to record for students of the game. His work on Kurious II and in the Bamboo Brothers captured his love for and support of the independent scene. His many and ongoing collaborations with legendary artists like MF Doom, MF Grimm, MC Serch, Powerule, Pete Nice, 3rd Bass, Max B, Homeboy Sandman, Jungle Brothers, Jamalski, and Sadat X, along with the younger emcees coming up put Kurious right in the middle of independent hip/hop movement.
