DJ Clay got his start at Detroit-area house parties and by appearing on rap albums by fellow Detroiters. Most of his work at parties was done under the aegis of Insane Clown Posse's Psychopathic Records. 2006 was a breakthrough year, when the DJ was invited by ICP's Shaggy 2 Dope to perform on the F.T.F.O. tour. The collaboration on-stage was a hit, and Clay was asked to be the DJ for ICP (and Dark Lotus, the label's "supergroup") on upcoming tours. Shifting his attention to Psychopathic's in-house mixtape label, Hatchet House, Clay released the first two volumes of his Let 'Em Bleed mixtapes in 2008. ~ Chris True
