Cure For Paranoia

Out of Dallas comes a hip-hop collective that treats the genre as a living room rather than a rulebook. Built around songwriter and frontman Cameron McCloud, with Tomahawk Jonez and Jay Analog alongside him, the group folds live instrumentation and dance music into the lineage of rap, R&B, funk and jazz. The result is a sound that keeps one foot in the groove and the other in the crowd, most vividly on stage, where their full-band live show with We Them Grays makes the case.

Their releases begin with Cure for Paranoia: Side A, a 2018 EP, and continue through the album Center of the Maze in 2023 and Work of A.R.T. in 2025. That same year McCloud also released Project25, a verse a day, running alongside the band's album work and making 2025 a busy one for the collective as a whole.
