MH-206 cLOUDDEAD - cLOUDDEAD  "It's all the same shit but they call it cLOUDDEAD." cLOUDDEAD is the avant-hip-hop grouping of Doseone, why?, and odd nosdam. Fusing abstract beats, ambient pads, and interweaving vocals, cLOUDDEAD has created a release that owes as much to the Beatles as it does to hip-hop. Like Doseone and why?'s Greenthink project, cLOUDDEAD renounces the traditional hip-hop song format in favor of music made in movements. Six such movements were created to be released as a limited edition ten-inch series. Each release features a guest (Illogic, Dj Signify, Sole, the Wolf Bros., Mr. Dibbs, and The Bay Area Animals) and focuses on a specific theme. All six are combined to create a full-length that nullifies any preconception of style and raises the artistic bar for future Mush releases. |

| Genius - Mixmag / Utterly essential - NME / Enthralling - All Music Guide / Startlingly original - Wax / Certainly beautiful and strange - Rock Sound / Fascinating and addictive - Esquire / A landmark album - Seven / No combination of adjectives could accurately portray what you'll hear and no second-hand gushing will prepare you for the immense pleasure that is sure to wash over you when you put this album on. - Stylus |
| Doseone, why?, and Odd Nodsam are separate artists on the leftist hip-hop label, Anticon, but together they're the trio cLOUDDEAD. Attempting to redefine the way artists release longplayers, cLOUDDEAD dropped their self-titled album in six installments of 10-inch singles, all with a different guest. - Download |
