Clear Soul Forces producer/engineer/emcee Ilajide , (pronounced E•li•jah•day) does a lot more than just rap. With hard kicks and deep basslines the Detroit native tells stories sonically through his percussion as well as his lyrics. 
 With a signature staccato style of rapping, Ilajide comes hard but never fails to smooth it out in the end. 
 With songs like Slow Down, Solar Heat, and Don't Fake, you can see where the funk shines. 
 But then with classics like Yeah Ho and 800-101-1100, it’s easy to see Ilajide isn’t to be boxed easily.
