Mike E. Clark may be most famous for his work with ICP for over a decade, but he’s been around longer than that, producing for the likes of George Clinton, Kid Rock, and Esham. He started out in the 80’s working at a studio called The Disc in Michigan and later gained enough success to build his own recording palace, called the Funhouse Studio.
He produced the Kid Rock song “Yodelin’ In The Valley”, which ended up being Kid Rock’s first ever hit song. It was around this time he was approached by ICP to do some production work on their album Carnival of Carnage. After being snaked by another producer, ICP was amazed at Mike’s abilities and forged a relationship that would last for almost a decade.
In that time, Mike perfected his craft even more, doing outside-Psychopathic production for George Clinton, Charm Farm, Primal Scream, and more, as well as releasing his own solo instrumental albums, which can be found here.
In 2001, Mike’s relationship with ICP disentigrated over artistic differences, and although Mike later went on to produce a track for Twiztid, his relationship with Psychopathic pretty much ended there. Mike then set out on his most ambitions goal ever, to start his own record label. With acts like Dead By 28 and Abstrakt Intellekt, B4 Records got a little bit of attention, but it wasn’t until Project: Deadman was formed that B4 made a name for itself on the underground. Project: Deadman is a group consisting of Mike E. Clark doing production and some vocals along with rapper Prozak (formerly of Bedlam) being the main rapper. The album got them signed to Tech N9ne’s Strange Music record label in 2004.
However, at the 2005 Gathering of the Juggalos, everything came full-circle when it was announced that ICP had reunited with Mike E. Clark for their upcoming album and many future projects ahead. The dynamic duo...err...Triple Threat is back together again!
