Style
Generally Drucker and Wolf provide the group's vocals while Madson produces the music. Occasionally Madson's vocals can be heard, while Drucker and Wolf provide music, especially for the group's second album.
Clouddead's sound is notoriously hard to define, and although it is undoubtedly grounded in "traditional" hip-hop, influences as varied as electronica , psychedelic music and indie rock can be heard. Because of this non-traditional take on hip-hop, more conservative elements of the rap community have characterized Clouddead as "smartarse surrealism ," with some elements of the community rejecting the notion that the group can be classed as hip hop at all,cite web |url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/collective/A2223794 |title= Californian hip-hop gets spacey |accessdate=August 23, 2009 |last=Clarke |first=Paul|publisher= BBC|BBC Collective ignoring Doseone's request to "just call it hip hop."Attribution needed|date=August 2009
