There are many words to describe Stage McCloud. A professional with a unquinchable thirst to create, an artist, a poet, a mentor to many of the people surrounding him. A Supreme Teacher and Gifted Educator.
One of the original members of the world famous Iconz, Stage McCloud is now described by one word that repeatly finds itself echoed in his presences. .FOCUSED.
He has returned from several roadbumps and crossroads, after a long absence from the public eye, to do what comes natural to him, create music. And he is so very focused!!! Arising from the dust of what was once Iconz', like a Phoniex, Stage McCloud was reborn, and with the rebirth of McCloud, came the rebirth of everything that was McCloud.
No longer a Iconz, he traded in his Get Fucked Up Days for the uncertain future with a group of unknowns. The Grind Mode. Now with a new camp backing him McCloud can truly be put to rest, and replaced by McKlezie. The artist, CEO, The Grind Mode. Tell the clubs to prepare, cuz McKLEZIE'S BACK BABY!!!! CAROL CITY'S GOLDEN KID!!
Members of Grind Mode:
Grind Mode is the Group, but its more than that, it's a way of life. So with that being said, everyone of our friends is in Grind Mode. Everyone of our fans is in Grind Mode. Anyone that we come in contact with, that is bout what we bout, is in Grind Mode!!!! Now for legal reasons, so no one pops up later demanding royalties for songs that they never wrote, Grind Mode is:
Chaos *The Section 8 Sex Symbol*
Hunger *The Dade County JackBoy
And yours truly,
Stage McKlezie *Carol City's Golden Kid*
Influences:
First and foremost I would have to say that my biggest influences to continue to strive and be better would have to be my Daughter. It's not often that an artist has his perfect muse around him, however I am truly blessed to have my child cheer me on, until I conquer all. God is and will always be not only an influence, but a creator for all the music, that is channeled through me!!
Musically, I do not make a secret that I pattern myself after Big Daddy Kane. He was truly ahead of his time, with his versatility, charisma, knowledge, and flat out showmanship. Hopefully, I do him justice when recreating him. Some notables would be Grand Puba (Crazy Swagger), Trick Daddy and Busta Rhymes (Need I say more about him).
When it comes to music, I am in amazement with all that Shawn Carter (Jay Z) has accomplished in his life. Rapper turned Mogul, with no help, a true rags to riches stories. Vince McManhon ranks right up there with Shawn. I actually met both gentlemen, but I was more intimidated by Vince. His art of promoting himself, his company, and his Superstars gives any business man a blue print to expanding his/her company. Convertible Bert and lets just leave it at that!!!! Also any D-Boys, Pimps, Players, and Hustlers out there doing they thang big. Big Respect to all those on the grind, I do this for yall.
