Red Cloud’s second full-length album is equally as impressive as his first for me. 15 more tracks of Red Cloud goodness.

If you can imagine hearing a rap-style that you’ve never heard before, that is how hearing Red Cloud is for me. It’s not a typical rap-style – and I assume this is due to Red Cloud’s American Indian heritage.

Lyrically – this album is incredible. As with all rap and hip-hop, there are probably about atleast 200% MORE lyrics than a typical rock/pop album. Red Cloud is definitely in love with his Lord, Jesus as evidenced through listening over and over to these tracks.

Released by SYNTAX records, this album includes some help from another group that I enjoy – “Sackloth Fashion”.

Red Cloud is featured on a track on the new Pigeon John album. His video “Kenpo Fighting” is featured oftentimes on TVU-LIVE – the satellite station we watch at theBOX.

I had heard Red Cloud a couple times before purchasing this album, but with him coming to Warsaw for the Pro-Life Music Festival (hopefully!), I thought I should get his album(s) and learn a little bit about who this guy is!

I’m impressed. This album is his “oldest” album – and is very impressive. 15 tracks.

I’m NOT impressed, however, that Red Cloud doesn’t have a worthwhile website – redcloudhiphop.com is his current website, but isn’t even worth visiting!

I’m currently eating the BEST afternoon snack ever invented.

Hostess Donettes (chocolate, frosted) and a 20 oz. Mt. Dew (with a B.O.G.O. cap!)

Yum.
