Best Cloud Rap Artists
Cloud Rap is a subgenre of Rap/Hip Hop music that is characterized by hazy, ethereal or sometimes lo-fi production style and vocals.
Bones is my favourite rapper in the genre known as Cloud Rap. His instrumentals are gold and his rapping is great too. To me, Bones has the best vocals and instrumentals in Cloud Rap. Just listen to CtrlAltDelete or Oxygen. Bones is also a highly influential rapper in Cloud Rap, having influenced many other artists in the genre.
These guys are pretty dope.
