AND THE STORY IS TOLD...

As a shorty Clep never really had a place to call his home, because every two to three years he would be on the move. He went from Chicago , to Aurora , to Oak Park , to palatine, to Arkansas , on to South Carolina , then to Oklahoma . Somewhere in the mist of running from place to place, he discovered he had a raw talent. Feeling like nothing could stop him; he decided to do something with it.

Influenced by rappers like Spice 1, The Dayton Family, Pac, B.I.G., Twista, Jigga, and the list goes on, Clep got his job. The official kick off was in the small town of Blytheville, AR. Clep started battling rappers daily, once he built a name for himself, he clicked up with a cat they called Big Keg. All the money was up and the project was in process. It all came to a sudden halt when Big Keg was involved in a fatal accident.

After recovering from the heavy blow, Clep headed back to Chicago to work with ILL Regards Records Inc. There he learned that his talent was only a small part of the deal. He began learning to discipline himself and focus on all aspects of the game. Believing in all confidence that once he masters the rules of the game, he can master the game itself.

With Ill Regards to back him, Clep began dropping some of the hottest tracks around. Meeting D.J.s and other industry heads, he slowly began making his way into the biz. Ready for any obstacle the rap game can throw his way, Clep remained focused and hungry. So no doubt about it, the young boy will be a force to be reckoned with.
