Cut Chemist is the performing name of Lucas Macfadden, a solo turntablist who is a member of two highly rated crews being: the underground rap group Jurassic 5 and the funk Latin band Ozomatli. He became known through the Los Angeles-based rap group Unity Committee , and debuted on vinyl on the B-Side of Unity Committee's 1993 single, Unified Rebelution . The track, "Lesson 4: The Radio" was an ovation of Double D and Steinski 's seminal hip-hop masterpieces, "Lessons 1-3."

Proceeding the vinyl release, Unity Committee with another group, Rebels of Rhythm , formed Jurassic 5. Cut Chemist contributed avidly to the group, adding "Lesson 6: The Lecture" to Jurassic 5's eponymous EP release and producing the entirety of the record. Between then and other releases, he explored remixing along side DJ Shadow and Liquid Liquid , and performed doing outside work (sampling and scratching for Less Than Jake, and appearing with Ozomatli). From late 1996 to mid 1997, Cut Chemist recorded his album debut, Live at Future Primitive Sound Session , with Shortkut of Invisibl Skratch Piklz.
