Clay Perry is a 28-year-old emcee out of Arlington, Texas with a story to tell. It is clear that Perry has been through a lot and that is on full display with “I Can’t Help Ya” where the rappers narrative comes across as numb to the challenges of life. This numbness results in a jaded approach to handing out passes for others as the hook recites the famous Nelly line “Now same mother fuckers acting me for dough, and i’m yelling I can’t help ya” Perry deals with betrayal issues but rather than sulk about it he uses it as motivation to stunt on the ones that weren’t loyal to him. This record is good for anyone who shares a similar sentiment to Clay Perry, but it’s also a good record for the average rap fan that appreciates well-written raps, quality song structure, and a catchy hook. Check out Clay Perry “I Can’t Help Ya” below and look out for more coming soon.
