After taking time off from school, being involved In a few major legal cases, and experiencing life I general, he is finally ready set to graduate in the spring of 2007.

Artists like Tupac, Nas, Aerosmith, Nirvana, Notorious B.I.G., Curtis Mayfield, and Stevie Wonder have helped shape J.CLYDE’s music to name a few.
