Warcloud, also known as Alcatraz and later as Holocaust, is an enigmatic figure in the underground hip-hop scene, renowned for his dense and esoteric lyrical style. A member of the Wu-Tang Clan affiliated group Black Knights, Warcloud has had an underground impact that far exceeds his mainstream exposure. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he moved to Los Angeles in his teenage years, where he began to immerse himself in the West Coast's developing rap culture.

Warcloud's discography is marked by a tendency towards dark, cinematic beats paired with his complex, often surreal, storytelling. His lyrical content delves into a range of subjects from abstract historical references to gritty urban narratives. Among his more recent works, "Warghosts (Remastered)" and "In the End Thereof… Are the Ways of Death (Remastered)" suggest a revisitation and refinement of his earlier material, offering a polished take on his distinctive sound. Albums like "A History of Violence" and "Nightmares That Surface from a Shallow Sleep" have solidified his reputation for crafting vivid, unusual imagery and a unique flow that has placed him within a niche of avid listeners who admire his singular approach to hip-hop. Despite not breaking into the wider commercial market, Warcloud's work remains a treasure trove for aficionados of the genre looking for complexity and depth in their music.
