The UK’s answer to Eminem, Cloudy Clouds has released his debut album Imprisoned in a Dream.
The fourteen track project establishes Cloudy Clouds as one of the most socially aware and vibrant lyricists currently active on the UK Hip-Hop scene.
With heavy doses of self-deprecating humour, satirical lines and social commentary, Imprisoned in a Dream is equal parts thought provoking and entertaining.
Cloudy Clouds, otherwise known as Claudio Elliston, is a Mensa-member, part of a global society open only to those with the most elite IQ. Based in Crouch End, Elliston’s genius background is helping him break the typical mould of a Rap artist. Smashing stereotypes and bringing brutal honesty into his lyricism, Cloudy Clouds is an exciting and innovating artist in the Rap scene.
Check out the One Night music video below, the stand out single from album Imprisoned in a Dream.
Highlights from album Imprisoned in a Dream include Your Future Daughter which deals with great candour and sincerity about the UK’s drug laws; Wrote You a Love Song, which showcases not only Cloudy’s lyrical sharpness but also his visual skill with a stunning video and Calling Round, an extraordinary view of a terrorist attack from the perspective of the victim; bystander; radicalised cleric and attacker.
Like nothing you’ve heard before, Imprisoned in a Dream will make you laugh, cry and question all at the same time.
Majestic storytelling delivered with witty lyricism, Cloudy Clouds is surely one to watch in the UK Hip-Hop scene.
