Clouddead (also presented as cLOUDDEAD) was an experimental hip hop ensemble originating from Cincinnati, Ohio, consisting of members Doseone (Adam Drucker), Why? (Yoni Wolf), and Odd Nosdam (David Madson). The group’s name was inspired by a nonsensical knock-knock joke shared with Drucker by his sister.

Style

The musical approach of Clouddead combines classic hip-hop elements with touches from ambient, electronica, psychedelic music, and indie rock, resulting in a sound that defies easy classification.

History

In 2001, their initial six 10-inch singles were gathered into the eponymous album Clouddead. The single "Dead Dogs Two" includes the note "this is cLOUDDEAD number 9 of ten," indicating that by the time Ten was released in 2004, the group had completed its joint creative efforts.
