Enter Cleetus Kasiody. This San Jose emcee is a chameleon on the mic. He fits in anywhere. He spits with the real-life perspective of a West Coast vet. He brings a lyricism that's reminiscent of an East Coast rhymer. He starts the party off right like a Down South emcee. His style? Well, that's hard to pinpoint. It's like his musical influences -- vast. This is where he stands today: A hungry emcee making noise on the local level, looking for the break that will allow the world to learn what he has to offer. He's performed in and around his residence of San Jose, Calif., both at clubs and at talent showcases. He's steadily writing and recording a catalog of songs that showcase his various talents.
