Long before Cash Money and No Limit exposed the world to the New Orleans gumbo style of rap, NUTT KAZE was building a road into the music industry. During the early 90's Darian "NUTT KAZE" Clayton found himself involved in many ciphers. It was in these ciphers that NUTT KAZE realized his dream of becoming a lyrical master.
In 2000 NUTT KAZE got his first opportunity in the music industry dropping his first solo album "NUTT KAZE Vol.1," on self-owned record label UnderGround Funk Entertainment.
In late 2001, NUTT KAZE was back in the lab more focused than ever. This time was more intense and he had more to prove. In early 2002, his second solo album entitled "It's Time" hit the streets.
While taking a short break in 2003, in 2004 released his first video "F@$ed Up" from his forth coming album with "Big Chan" of Snoop Dogg Doggy's Angles and label mate "YG" aka Gunna. Nutt also touched into the mixtape scene dropping his first mixtape "Da Championship Vol.1"

In 2005 once again NUTT KAZE was set to destroy the music scene. From dropping underground mixtapes with Cleveland Ohio best DJ Mick Boogie album entitled "Dirty Work/Trip Thru The Dirty South" hosted by Young Buck, Crack DVD, DJ E.Nyce,etc. But as the year excelled, something bigger than rap occurred!
Now in the mid of 2005 NUTT KAZE found himself in one of the worst situations possible.... the lost of his son! Not understanding why God called on this unbelievable matter, he recalls that he was only 4 years old why chose him chose me instead! But not long after being shell shocked from his lost another devasting hit came!
As a resident of Louisiana, NUTT KAZE withness the aftermath of the hurricane as it destroyed majority of the south coast. Now withsomething bigger than life itself, this devastion delayed the dreams and movements that NUTT Kaze had in stored for the remaining of the year.
In 2006 things looked better. NUTT KAZE found himself more focused determined with higher goals. With joint ventures with Streets MOS Magazine as a writer as well as being a part of a New York based rap group named "T.H.E.M." while also in the making of his own clothing line.
