[edit] Business
DJ Clue has worked with many artists on mixtapes. He released the mixtape "Changing Lanes" with Kanye West and CHOPS. Recently, Clue came out with "National Champs 2006", a mixtape with CHOPS hosted by Paul Wall.
[edit] Desert Storm
He also has his own record label Desert Storm Records. Rappers Fabolous, Ransom and Paul Cain are among the artists with Desert Storm Records.[citation needed] Recently, he has been working with The Game on his new mixtape/soundtrack called "Stop Snitchin', Stop Lyin", along with DJ Skee & Nu Jerzey Devil.
[edit] Remixes
Clue was hired to produce remixes of three of Mariah Carey's most recent and biggest hits: "We Belong Together", "Shake It Off", and "Don't Forget About Us". He subsequently had a featured DJ role in Carey's 2006 The Adventures of Mimi Tour. Back in 1999, DJ Clue has produced the extremely awaited Heartbreaker Remix featuring Missy Elliott and Da Brat for Carey's '99 album Rainbow. He confirmed in a recent interview with Rashmi Shastri that he will be contributing tracks for Mariah's upcoming album, Rollercoaster, due in spring.[2]
[edit] Technique
DJ Clue is currently researching the No I.D. sample technique, which allows a producer to extract any instrument from a 2-track recording.[citation needed]
[edit] VJ
Clue used to be a VJ for MTV's Direct Effect, and was a radio jock for NY's Hot 97 on Monday from 12am-2am but resigned to join rival station Power 105.1 (WWPR-FM).
