Blaze Ya Dead Homie (born April 27, 1976[citation needed] as Chris Rouleau) is an American rapper currently on the Psychopathic Records label.
His artist bio claims that Blaze is the zombie of a 1990's gangsta rapper shot in a Halloween drive-by prank, who has returned to Earth to spread the message of the Dark Carnival . He wears a giant clock around his neck as the only thing keeping him alive, adorned with bullet holes.

Blaze, from Mount Clemens, Michigan has been active as a rapper for several years. Blaze started out in the group "2 Krazie Devils" along with partner Skrapz. Blaze used the name "Psycho C" and Skrapz was known as "Krazy". The group had the production of Twiztid's former rap partner The R.O.C. 2 Krazie Devils never really evolved and soon became known as "The Sleepwalkaz". Blaze changed his name to "The Sandman". The Sleepwalkaz, much like 2 Krazie Devils, never really went anywhere and the group split up. Skrapz went on to do another project with the R.O.C. and Blaze went on to work with Twiztid. When Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse approached Twiztid for a record deal on Psychopathic Records, they gladly took the offer.
Blaze had appeared on the Juggalo Show, announced by Violent J as the newest member of the Psychopathic Family in 1999. He recorded his first self-titled album, Blaze Ya Dead Homie EP, on Psychopathic in 2000. In 2001 he recorded his first full-length LP 1 Less G N Da Hood. This release was a little more experimental in Blaze's sound but the album still stayed true to the "gangsta" image Blaze had created. In 2001 Blaze was announced as being a member of the group Dark Lotus. His 2nd LP was heavily promoted by Psychopathic throughout late 2002/early 2003 only to be dropped when Blaze announced his retirement. His retirement however, was short lived and Colton Grundy: The Undying was released in October 2004.
Blaze Ya Dead Homie was set to release an album on October 31st, 2006 titled Clockwork Grey but the release date was pushed to August 21st, 2007. In the summer of 2006, Blaze headlined his own tour, featuring labelmates the Axe Murder Boyz and Boondox. In late 2006, Blaze was featured in fellow label-mate Boondox's music video for "Red Mist". This would mark the first time Blaze has had a prominent role in a music video, If you don't count ABK's "Party at the Liquor Store" and Dark Lotus's "Pass The Axe video's. Unlike the other members of Psychopathic Records, Blaze has yet to make his own music video.
Blaze released his fourth album, Clockwork Gray (sometimes mistaken for "Grey"), on August 21st, 2007. The first single off this project will also be Blaze's FIRST solo music video entitled "Ill Connect" (Also Feat. The R.O.C.). Blaze formed a group with The R.O.C. called "Zodiac M-print" (pronounced "Imprint"). They are expected to produce many albums.
