Biography

Timothy Clayton was raised in the small Birmingham, Alabama suburb of Brighton, Attitude's teen years involved several trips in and out of jail. In between stints, he developed an interest for hip-hop - which, in the absence of a music industry presence in the Birmingham area, was nourished with the mainstream offerings from Miami, Atlanta, and New York. As a result, Attitude developed a style that held true to his southern upbringing, but was greatly influence by the East Coast lyrically. He started Centa Street Records with partner Wade Summerville, determined to develop Alabama's young talent. In addition to allowing him to release his first album "Serious Times" in 1997.

Attitude's search for talent led him to a friendship with Bubba Sparxxx that would take his career to the next step. Since their introduction, Attitude has toured with Sparxxx and appeared on his critically acclaimed second album "Deliverance". The close relationship also lead Attitude to work with Hip-Hop producer Timbaland, who signed him to the fledgling Beat Club Records imprint. Unfortunately, the label folded despite having over half an album's worth of music recorded.

He joined Warner Bros. Records's roster on January 9, 2007. His Warner debut album is set for a 2009 release. Producers are expected to be Timbaland, Danja, The Runners, Justice League, DJ Toomp, Drumma Boy, David Banner.
