Damn. SMH RIP. Sending my Condolences to his family/loved ones and to his Die Hard fans on this site.
Tragic. Wtf is this about charging him with drug paraphernalia in jail? So they arrested him, didn't realize he had drugs until LATER?! What kind of shit cops are these? This is a crazy story itself. And then he dies 2 days later?
I'm not suspecting foul play. Just terribly inept police probably making things worse. Would be crazy if he swallowed drugs like ODB did when he died.
Cilva - any chance you could ask RZA to dig into his vault and release some version of The Escapism posthumously?
Shocked! A 10/10 Wu artist, gone :(

The man's voice was an instrument in itself. RIP Warcloud/Holo.
Damn, was not expecting to see him go after a project of his just got released and the video. Would have though he would have been getting it back together again. Sad man.
Is there anybody who would like to explain all the different styles of Holocaust to me, because I sort of lost it after Warcloud went to Robotank and we got this whole slew of official or unofficial releases. Which releases would belong to which, and what are cornerstones of every style?
The Escapism, what was that?
Cilva, what was your standing with him? He used quite a few beats of yours in his earlier years if I am not mistaken.
That all said, he was one of the if not the most colorful Wu-Fam addition at the end of century. A style like no other which had me and friends going like WTF?! I remember me and some of the other Dutch member going over his early releases. Shout out to G-Clef and Chambermusik for putting those first two projects out there again after they were heavily shared in 128kpbs or something. Shit, that was a staple in any Wu fans MP3 collection.
Requiescat in pace
That first song was one of the things that immediately popped into my brain after reading the news.Quote:

I’m gutted right now but as someone who knew him personally, warcloud had very very deep problems . He was also someone who was exploited a lot because of said problems . Don’t wanna put his business out there like that but maybe later I’ll elaborate more on the matter .Quote:

Yeah, a ton of shitty rappers (mostly white) would give him substances so they could launch their bullshit careers and pretend to be Wu affiliated. His career & health was hurt working with such trash artists and maybe irritated RZA and the Wu because losers like Bomshot were repping the W.
I never knew him but know he had some traumatic upbringing and was a Blood or Crip (the Black Knights were 2 Crips and 2 Bloods, which is why RZA wanted to make them into his next big group). Seems like he was mixed race and thats a struggle itself proving yourself and getting unfair treatment in the hood. Reminds me of Bizzy Bone who is also mentally scarred from a young age. Worse is that he was extremely intelligent and nerdy, so I doubt anyone around him knew what he was talking about.
Whatever happened between him and 9th Prince, I'm sure Holocaust overdid it. He was an unstable guy and his respect from real thugs makes me think he wasn't someone to play with or handle the unfair structure of the music business. I wish the man had some real legit partners around him. I'm sure he was extremely difficult but like ODB he had no shortage of grifters and users around him.
I wanted to write a bio on him and recently reached out to Pro the Leader, telling him I wanted to help out Warcloud and the faggot read but never responded. Not mad because of the book situation but that these leeches didn't want to help this man out while he was struggling and now he's fucking dead. That maggot would have no career without him.
