Marqus Clae
Houston-born emcee and actor Marqus Clae focuses on acrobatic wordplay and confident, narrative-driven storytelling. First known as Young Marqus, he began rapping as a child, releasing his first mixtape at the age of ten and touring as the opener for Lupe Fiasco the following year. A chance meeting with Master P led to Clae signing with No Limit Forever, which released the mixtape The Ghetto Poet in 2017. He later joined the Def Jam roster and issued the full-length THE MECCA in 2022, and asserted his place in the hip-hop pantheon with his 2023 single "Kendrick, Clae & Cole."
As a child, Marqus Clae was influenced by Houston rap icons like Scarface and Devin the Dude. His mother was a rapper, and she taught him how to write and record rhymes. Calling himself Young Marqus, he made his mixtape debut at the age of ten, and his DJ and producer got him in touch with Lupe Fiasco, who soon took him out on tour. His next major brush with fame occurred when he was 16. He met Master P at an airport on the way back home from Los Angeles, and told the rap mogul to check out his music. Clae was signed to No Limit Forever within weeks, and the mixtape The Ghetto Poet appeared in early 2017, with label co-owners Master P and his son Romeo Miller featured as guests. He made his acting debut that year, appearing on several episodes of Shots Fired, and later playing Billy Johnson on the first two seasons of the Marvel series Cloak & Dagger. Clae released the independent mixtapes The Anonymous (2018), P.T.S.D. (2019), and Pandemic (2020), and appeared in the short film All Screwed Up, a visual tribute to the late DJ Screw.
Clae signed to Def Jam in late 2020, and his first single for the label, "Open Market," appeared in 2021. Additional songs preceded the arrival of Clae's 2022 full-length THE MECCA, envisioned as a tribute to New York hip-hop. In 2023, he released the single "Kendrick, Clae & Cole," as well as several online freestyles.
