Clippa Cartier – Wine Dark
Honesty meets catchy vibes on new album from Clippa Cartier
EUGENE, OR – For most of his adult life, Clippa Cartier has been a professional barber. But like many people hit hard by COVID in 2020, he found himself without a job and looking for something different to fill his life. Enter a career in music, something that had previously only been a hobby he and his brother had dabbled with from time-to-time. Clippa has a natural gift for rapping and singing, and though he’s always dreamed of becoming a professional musician, he admits he needed the extra push of desperate circumstances to make him fully take the leap.
Looking back over the past year-and-a-half, he’s glad that he did. In October 2020 he released his first song, “Thought You Knew Pt. 1,” featuring hip-hop artist K. Banks. Just a few days after that he released the song “Drip,” which became almost an overnight sensation and has gone on to gather hundreds of thousands of streams across multiple digital platforms. Since that time he’s released other popular songs such as “What You Trynna Do,” “The Protocol,” and “23/Jumpman.” And today he’s compiling all of those successful singles alongside a handful of others on a full album called “Wine Dark,” which is also available across all streaming platforms.
“It’s my debut album and I’m introducing everyone to the style of my music,” he said. “I fully mixed and mastered the whole project. There’s a dark theme behind it, and the tone has a background that is kind of dark and mysterious, kind of like a good dark wine. Mostly I’m talking about life in general and Just being honest about the shit that’s really happening in our world right now.”
Over the past year, Clippa has become known for his hard-hitting trap and club music style. He raps in hard, catchy flows that’s unique to each listener. He has a different style that incorporates a witty comedy throughout his various pieces of work. But above all he’s totally honest, emulating some of his favorite artists – like Too Short and Shuga Free – who he said have a “don’t give a f*ck kind of style and just tell you how it is.”
Clippa has also worked with many artists who have released many songs over the past year, as well. On YouTube, Clippa had earned more than 100,000 views and thousands of subscribers. On Spotify, as well, his numbers continue to climb into the tens and hundreds of thousands. And he’s consistently releasing new music weekly.
“I’m motivated and passionate for my craft,” he said. “I have no plan of stopping soon.”

Former Heavyweight Champ Prince Charles Martin and USA Boxing Natl champion NOBODYKNOWBIGHAMM Fight The Power”
Prince Charles Martin and Jonathan “Nobody Know Big Hamm” also known as the Philosophical Fighters are taking their fighting skills to a new level, and fighting with their voice social justice, the empowerment of women, respect for all people of color, and challenging the cowards in the District of Columbia that are doing their best to revert our country to the days of Jim Crow.
Prince Charles Martin stated, “if we are going to take down these people in power, we must come together as a team. We need all nationalities (rich and poor) to unite against these rich oppressors, because it is the US against the White House”. Public Enemy said it best, we must “Fight the Power.”
Jonathan “Nobody Know Big Hamm” said, “for years we have let them divide us, use us, and brainwash us into turning against our own.” They preyed on the weak, the uneducated, but that is a thing of the past, because we are WOKE! We are going to UNITE; we are here to FIGHT for all that have been victimized by the actions and policies of a corrupt government. Fight The Power!
@nobodyknowbighamm DESPITE THE RISK AS PUBLIC FIGURES ME AND FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CHAMP 🥊@RealPrinceCharlesMartin IS FIGHTING FOR ALL. #politics #fypシ゚viral #fyp #leftist #tiktok
Jonathan Hamm is a former NFL, #1 ranked USA Boxing Champion and Hollywood actor (Big Fan), discusses social justice and unity amongst African Americans and Hispanics during this political climate. Big Hamm’s TikTok is a motivational mix of women empowerment, philosophy and down to earth politics with his southern heavy Atlanta accent.
BigHamm stated in an interview with WelshDaGod that, “Growing up in a family of Freemasons, I was born to be of service to the people. My grandmother was the Grand Matron of Georgia and my mother was the Head of Education of Freemasons Order of The Eastern Stars”(BigHamm). His parents were taught to live a life of service by his late great grandmother Gracie Mae Smith who would spend her last dollar feeding random people of need in the streets of Atlanta. Big Hamm’s grandfather John Bell is a 33rd degree Freemason and he served on S.N.C.C (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) with Atlanta greats, Martin Luther King, John Lewis, Ralph David Abernathy and Andrew Young. Despite his athletic background style and offset delivery, BigHamm was born to be of service to the people. Follow him on TikTok @nobodyknowbighamm for more.
