In 2011, Klypso assisted in audio engineering the radio hit "Kush" by Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg and Akon. In 2012, he produced the song "I'm a Stop" by Too Short featuring 50 cent, Twista, and Devin The Dude.
In 2013, Klypso worked with singer and songwriter Poo Bear on the Grammy nominated best rap album of the year entitled "Food and Liquor II" by Lupe Fiasco.
Later that year, Klypso linked up with Flo Rida and performed the half time show for the San Francisco 49ers vs. Carolina Panther's playoff game in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Bank of America Stadium.
