In Episode 261 of Outside The Round, host Matt Burrill sits down with Alabama native Clever for a genre-spanning conversation that follows his journey from Gadsden to the hip-hop world of Los Angeles and now into the heart of Nashville’s creative community. They discuss the rich musical culture of Alabama, his early success in hip-hop, and how transitioning into country music became a natural evolution rather than a pivot. Clever opens up about balancing family life with a demanding career, the importance of collaboration, and staying grounded in an ever-changing industry. With stories from the road, lessons from the business, and reflections on artistic identity, this episode captures Clever’s unique voice and vision as he celebrates the release of his new album Coyote, available now on all platforms.
