Detroit, MI DJ, producer, rapper, and mixtape impresario
DJ Clay got his start as a DJ at local house parties and by appearing on other Detroit hip-hop albums. Most of his work at parties was done under the aegis of Psychopathic Records, the home of and label founded by the city's notorious rap outfit the
Insane Clown Posse. 2006 would turn out to be the breakthrough year for
Clay, when the DJ was invited by
Shaggy 2 Dope to perform as DJ on the F.T.F.O. tour. The collaboration on-stage was a hit, and
Clay was asked to DJ the
Insane Clown Posse (and
Dark Lotus, the label's "supergroup") on all their upcoming tours. In addition to his work on-stage,
Clay's recordings began to get noticed. Shifting his attention from Psychopathic to its in-house mixtape label, Hatchet House,
DJ Clay released the first of his Let 'Em Bleed mixtapes in 2008. (His first mixtape, The W-E-R-O-B-U Mixtape, Vol. 1, was released in 2007 on A.R. Entertainment.) Vol.2 of the series was released later that same year. As a producer and contributor,
DJ Clay appeared on five Psychopathic full-lengths, working with such artists as
ICP,
Twiztid, and
Dark Lotus. ~ Chris True
