Khujo is an American hip hop musician who was born on March 13, 1972 in Atlanta, Georgia. He is one-fourth of Goodie Mob (along with T-Mo, Cee-Lo, and Big Gipp), and one-half of The Lumberjacks (with T-Mo). Khujo is a very spiritual man known for his distinct, grunty voice and free-flowing rhyming style. He rhymes about all aspects of street life, often intertwining those subject with God metaphorically or directly. In 2002 he was involved in a car crash which resulted in the amputation of his right leg below the knee.

He released his only solo album, "The Man Not The Dawg", in 2002 to limited success. In it he delved into more personal, gritty topics that wouldn't have fit in the cohesive, conscious songs in the early Goodie Mob albums.

Khujo prefers to be called a messenger as opposed to a rapper, saying, "'Cuz rappas wrap gifts." He belonged to the "Party Crashers" rap group in middle school and formed the "Six Sense" rap group in high school with soon-to-be Dungeon Family affiliates Ray Murray, Big Gipp, and others.

While some mistakenly believe that Khujo's name is an adaptation of "Cujo" the violent dog from the popular Stephen King novel and subsequent film, it is actually a tribute to the leader of the tribal Maroons who lead escaped slaves to freedom.
