Oakland emcee Clyde Carson is perhaps best known for his 2012 hit “Slow Down.” His newest project, released early this year, makes a serious case for Carson’s staying power. His first studio album S.T.S.A. 2 (Something to Speak About 2), is a sequel to Carson’s first mixtape of the same name. On the album, Carson demonstrates an effortless style and Bay-centric swagger. Carson’s music has appeared in the video game Grand Theft Auto V and his latest effort features notable guest appearances by E-40, DJ Mustard, Mozzy and Keak da Sneak.
