Masters of Illusion is the musical side project of producer KutMasta Kurt and rappers Kool Keith and Motion Man. Their debut self-titled album was released on November 14, 2000.
The album's title includes "Kutmasta Kurt presents..." which implies that Kutmasta Kurt brought the collaboration. Kurt had previously worked as a producer for several of Kool Keith's albums, many of which featured Motion Man on its tracks.
After the Masters of Illusion project, Kutmasta Kurt went on to produce Motion Man's debut album, Clearing the Field in 2002. In 2004, Kurt also released an album of his own, Redneck Games, and another collaborative album with Kool Keith as Diesel Truckers.
