Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as his sophomore studio effort, 'Strange Clouds' finds the Atlanta rapper further bridging the gap between Southern hip-hop and mainstream pop appeal. Boasting heavily synthesized, stadium-ready production and a massive roster of high-profile guest appearances, the record was engineered explicitly for commercial radio dominance and club play.
