Clever Reveals How He Avoided Prison & Ended Up Working w/ Juice WRLD, Justin Bieber & The Kid LAROI

[@CleverMusic]

Really enjoyed doing this interview brother- and thank y’all for watching!

[@ianbickCT]

Thanks so much for coming brother! I appreciate you!

[@ozias_GodandGaming]

love you clever, would love to work with you one day

[@knado8135]

Ive had Clever as my top artist for 6 years in a row...and his newest stuff is some of the most beautiful music ever made. Your Halo Never Falls is going to be me and my wife's song we walk down the aisle to. Her favorite is Candlelight. My favorite is pretty much every song you have ever made. You remind me of Kevin Gates, not musically, but the fact that i have never heard a bad song from him, and i have yet to hear something i dont like from you. This interview just made me admire and appreciate you so much more. Do you do Cameo? Or do you accept commisioned songs? Please let me know man.

[@9tailskyle]

Please work with Sewerperon

[@JustCallMeDakota]

Your song commissary will be played at my funeral. 💚

[@brettkelly5894]

Clever is one of the best artists I've ever heard it's insane how underapreciated he is go give a look into his music.

[@youngorangee]

[@heartmalyrics]

And lyrical maturity

[@Anninukichild]

Oh hes just now scratching the surface of his true potential..I can feel it , this year will be BIG for him!

[@johnnawilhite4769]

"You either die on that mountain or you become the guide of that mountain." Such a great way to look at the hardships of life.

[@808sirenz9]

"By My Side" with NLE Choppa is a banger. This dude has a powerful voice fr reminds of 70s rockers

[@heartmalyrics]

That song hits when he says "shooty never scared when she sicks by my side"

[@TheYardLover]

His hook is my daily anthem

[@facetattsandwrenches1203]

Agreed 👍🏻

[@spencerford750]

Man I have wondered about clever story for so long so this is dope

[@KearneyTv]

His voice is so soothing. Just an all around great guy. You can tell he’s learned a lot on top of his incredible talent. What an artist, wow.

[@tyrichardson7753]

Clevers music has given me inspiration in so many ways. I haven’t even watched this yet and I’m just happy this exists. I’ve wanted a good sit down clever interview like this for years now and I can already tell from the preview I saw that this will be his best one. Keep going CL!

[@ianbickCT]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@FillyYounghorse]

His demeanor and energy reminds me alot of Johnny Depp. Probably a strange comment but it’s a compliment from my prospective.

[@connorestes9814]

please GUYS RUN THIS COMMENT UP!!!! Clever has to see this!!! This right here is what makes many artists keep going, knowing that people really, truly & deeply care about, cherish and love their art & all the work they put in to create amazing music. To see that what you do & how what you created touches people & can really influence their lives & accompany them through it is an amazing feeling and especially here seeing how your music can bring a couple even closer together & mean so much to them is incredibly inspiring & a unique experience. I truly hope Clever sees this & can maybe chime in on youre guys’ journey on a more direct & individual note because the fact that y‘all admire this mans music so much & that it means so much to the both of you & somewhat brings you even closer together is so beautiful; and I can‘t even imagine how much it would mean to y‘all if he acknowledged that & noticed your story ❤️

[@teresapruitt2245]

Clever, I could totally relate with the anger thing no one showed me either. I got into a lot of trouble because of the anger but , like yourself I’ve come a long ways too That’s something for both of us to be proud of!!!! Keep doing what you do, man it’s great

[@laurenlobjorklund]

Just heard TRAINWRECK last night,, never heard of him before..and had to look into him... don't judge a book by the cover is right! very soft spoken and funny! and a really great writer,, great musicality.. visually he reminds me of Ashton Kutcher, ( the eyes) and Jim Morrison.. and my high school boyfriend! haha,, he is so attractive! love his personality little mischievous, playful.. I love his voice his genuine emotions are very evident... no trained boring voice,, he is an indie artist.. you cannot BOX this man in.. I hear trainwreck at 3am in bed i phone to me ear.. and I got shivers.,, I sure am a fan now.. Blessings to you Josh~

[@KcPenguins]

Have you heard Clever with, "JamWayne's" Red Clay... I'm a, JamWayne fan & this song Red Clay was the first time I heard Clever. Which is amazing. Now I'm hooked on 🪶🎶💯 Clever's spirit.

[@wadewalton9351]

I would say out of the million of interviews I've spent my time of watching and reallly feeling and understanding the artist. This was so on time ! I wanted to know who I was putting so much time into feeling his music. Great Southern Man from the Dirty doing life and thank God for his survival so we can enjoy his work .

[@OrangeTigerRose]

This interview is great! His voice is just so soothing to listen too, he should do his own podcast, with music and just talking about anything. Being from the south myself I can relate to a a few things

[@spencerford750]

Lonely Sunday and commissary are some of my favorite songs

[@justice2620]

That’s what i was wondering. He said he’s from Alabama too. I just looked it up though and Yelawolfs dj spells it Klever. Weird 2 of them from the same place.

I’ve heard of this guy a lot, I wonder who blackballed him was it NLE? Multi talented singer, rapper producer he should be up there with the greats by now

[@David-xg2yn]

Yep and Ian Bick should be on Netflix by now

[@axemanarbor]

And kamala should be on Prozac by now

[@lildave45]

He popped up in exactly the right era as well. Makes you wonder. He does genuinely seem like someone who wouldn’t ever sell out for anything

[@roxannemiller44]

Probably wasn't blackballed. Most likely would sell his soul to the devil

I'd love to go all in, I believe in myself and the gifts God has given me with my voice and writing skills, I'm the sole provider for my kids and have been battling hackers tampering with my recording software, cameras, lyric files, etc. for years, making it so difficult, it isn't right. And the battle inside me about giving up the stability of what I've worked hard for to pursue my heart's desire when my kids depend on me alone, especially with all the setups, obstacles, roadblocks...I still believe, regardless if no one supports me but I struggle to let go of the stability of where I've stood for so long...

Ian.... why did you spend almost the entire time talking about his criminal past and records? why not ask a WRITER about what inspires them to write this song or that song..? more about his MUSIC and his faith and deep dive.. I had to leave the room 6 7 x because it was so irritating listening to you waste this mans time on his criminal past..? who cares..? sheesh

[@ianbickCT]

Because it’s a podcast about crime and redemption….

[@laurenlobjorklund]

​@@ianbickCT what? where does it say that..? answer no where. ~~ so negative. but you say ...>>>. look at me i have tats also and i have been in prison also.! the worst interview i have seen i my life.. ever.. why CLEVER ever agreed to drive 3 hrs to have YOU interview him ( if you want to call that) is beyond me.. he is better then that.. who pays you? and why? below the video... NOTHING about a podcast and crime and redemption..? even then he is not some hardened criminal.. petty crime.. how stupid you showcase that part of his life.. i cannot believe he agreed to that.. wow.. i would have said No thank you click. Clever shares his journey from a life on the edge to becoming an artist in the music industry. Known for his unique blend of hip-hop and rock, Clever has caught the attention of major names like Juice WRLD, Justin Bieber, and The Kid LAROI. But his path wasn’t always straightforward. Clever talks about his past struggles, including facing arrest and narrowly avoiding prison, and how he turned these experiences into motivation for his music career. He shares his story of going from small-town Alabama to creating music with top-charting artists.
