Athena didn't do anything wrong by accepting her musical development and success, which was offered to her. 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. This is how so many artists have become huge. Lionel Richard and the Commodores and Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. Look how large Chaka became after she ventured from Rufus and she was large with him.

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. :/

[@slpurdy1159]

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.

They deserve their money, I really liked their sound, beautiful voices, my favorite song is if you really want it ,all you got to do is get upon it. 💖

I forgot about Athena being in kut klose... I remembered her from the soundtrack on save the last dance (I ❤️ that song)

[@russellhowardjr.9894]

Very talented group of ladies. I hate how they got screwed over. Keith Sweat could’ve brought them onto Versus for a couple songs. “Lay My Body Down” and “Don’t Change” are also very dope songs off that same album. Here’s hoping they get another fair shot!

Them girls are still Legends to me, always will be.

[@dty3479]

I’ve been listening to them every night at work since Monday. Glad to see a story on them

[@rrg]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@kathleenweinberg6442]

Sorry to hear about the woman group one day they will come out with another song that would be great

[@kirstiewade3547]

Keith owes Teddy Riley too hahahaha! For his first album lol

[@AndriaaLeoLove]

Why do people say stuff wi/ no back up?

[@kikidymon]

He wasn’t paying Silkk either..

[@krimezofkolor4683]

The vocals on the end of surrender to this day still give me chills . That song so 🔥

[@michelled42790]

That album was EVERYTHING and is still on rotation to this day…EVERY SONG! There would be no Keith without Kut Klose

[@nooniepitts8944]

I still bump my Kutt Close cd Had it for like forever.. My homegirl tried to borrow it a long time ago.. I was like that dude 😎 on that commercial.. "No my sister.. you gotta get your own" 😂

[@rrg]

What happened to 8:12 ?? LMAO, sorry y'all we'll edit it out later 😘

[@JaiTheFaeBae]

I love that Surrender album. It still goes off 🔥 Every time I hear about these crazy contract deals it just blows my mind how devious the industry is. And these young artists be jumping head first in the shallow end just hoping for a chance at fame 🤕

[@violetedge83]

Yo i was waiting on thier debut album after Twisted. Aaandd they still had 6 albums on they contract??? That's crazy

[@trusno7751]

I still be bumping Kut Klose! K.SWEAT, know he wasn't supposed to play the game like that!💥 That recording industry is a DIRTY GAME, if you don't know the business side of it!

[@Niccole-oq8wo]

The industry is brutal! However, the type of disdain Keith is showing seems too personal. He gave one girl all the attention all while throwing serious shade at the other members...hmmm 🤔. 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. Also, when artists sign up under another celebrity, it never really ends well for the underling.

We in here! Wassup RRG🤗

HEY BESTIE!

[@missladyanonymity]

🎵🎶Kut Klose, help me out! You got me twisted over you! 🎵🎶

[@rrg]

The jam!

[@prestontubbs5668]

That’s cold blooded how Keith did those Ladies. It’s like the old saying a lot of Our favorite Artist aren’t what they claim to be!!

[@mathgirl76]

It's sad to keep heading some of our favorites that messed over the griups they were supposed to help come up. I was so bothered to hearchow Heavy D did Soul 4 Real... I'm like dang... Everybody was petty 😢

[@mochap19]

Kut Klose was undervalued and underrated
