Turn This Mutha Out is a 1977 album by Idris Muhammad. Produced and arranged by CTI/Kudu staff arranger David Matthews, it was aimed more at the R&B/disco market than the jazz market. One of only a few Kudu albums not produced by label owner Creed Taylor, Turn This Mutha Out spawned two pop and R&B hits, the title track and "Could Heaven Ever Be Like This".
