cLOUDDEAD

by cLOUDDEAD

The 2070th greatest album of all time

cLOUDDEAD is the 2001 debut album by the Anticon collective cLOUDDEAD, featuring Doseone, Why? and Odd Nosdam. It blends alternative and abstract hip hop with ambient and experimental production, using collage-like sampling, hazy synth textures, sparse beats, and stream-of-consciousness, surreal vocals. The album favors atmosphere and sonic experimentation over conventional song structures and is notable for pushing hip hop into more ambient and art-oriented territory.
