Just about to start painting new house interior and wondering if I
need to cut-in primer tight to corners (ie: with brush) or not. Can
anyone tell me the way it is normally done? My thinking is that since
this area of the drywall is already sealed (with 3 coats mud) do I
actually have to prime right into the corner?
Thanks in advance

Yes, you need to get primer into the corners. If you are using a
roller, the best way IMO is to use a 4" brush and brush out the
corners. It doesn't take long. Course, in new construction, you are
money ahead by far to use a sprayer.

paint.
