Ilajide - Mr. Pocket Jam
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.

NovelissFormerly known as J-Roc, Noveliss is apart of the legendary Hip-Hop collective, Clear Soul Forces. That collective earned themselves a record deal with Fat Beats in the mid-2000s and set the world ablaze with their single "Get No Better". With much success, the group was able to perform domestically and soon after the decision was made to seek more experience overseas in Europe! After extensive touring, Noveliss decided he wanted to give fans a piece of himself that they didn’t get to hear in the group. That pursuit quickly paid off and he earned the opportunity to speak at several pop culture events in every corner of the United States. Influenced by his love for everything Nerd culture, the decision to focus on his own brand of Nerdcore was a simple one. His diverse taste, and unique hobbies, fused with his experiences living in the Motor City naturally makes Noveliss one-of-a-kind.
