San Jose, CA rap veteran China Mc Cloud is back with another hard-hitting single, “Really Though.” Produced by Kunt, the track is a standout from his recently released album On The West. With a laid-back yet experimental trap feel, “Really Though” showcases China’s signature versatility, seamlessly switching between different rap patterns and flow styles.
China Mc Cloud has long been a key figure
China Mc Cloud has long been a key figure in the South Bay Area hip-hop scene, consistently dropping new music independently under his China’z Cabinet label imprint. His label and studio, China’z Cabinet Studio/Productions, have played a significant role in the Bay Area’s underground rap movement. Over the years, he and his collective—including HOG MOG, PDR Superstars, White Cloudz, Big Gamezmen, S.B.U., and Phinehas Gad Israel (Strict-9)—have been responsible for a steady stream of releases that have cemented their presence in the region.
With “Really Though,” China aims to expand his audience and bring his unique sound to an even wider listener base. Known for blending futuristic elements with classic mobby G-funk, his music continues to push boundaries while staying true to the Bay Area’s signature style.
His latest release, Transgressions, is further proof of his artistic evolution. With production handled by Phinehas Gad Israel (San Jose-Kansas City), Transgressions explores a broad spectrum of sounds, from gritty street anthems to experimental beats that defy conventional hip-hop structures.
