Nyle Kalin Parrish (born June 2, 1981), better known by his stage name Clyde Carson, is an American rapper. He formed the West Coast hip-hop trio the Team in 2001, with whom he has released four studio albums. After their third album World Premiere (2006), the group went on hiatus and Carson signed with fellow California-based rapper the Game's Black Wall Street Records, in a joint venture with Capitol Records to release his debut extended play Doin' That (2006).

Following his departure from both labels, he established the record label Moe Doe Entertainment to release his following EPs: Bass Rock (2009) and Playboy (2014). Carson remains best known for his 2012 single "Slow Down", which entered the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and was featured on the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V. Carson blends hyphy with street-styled rap.
