White Cloudz's new single, "Plant Life," featuring Zori and D-Rum, is an attention-getter added to the South Bay hip-hop canon. Following the long-awaited release of "Burn Som'n" across all streaming platforms, the single provides fans with thoughtful and new energy, bridging the underground homage and modern-day flavor.
"Plant Life" showcases White Cloudz's talent for paying homage to old-school hip-hop while pushing its limits. With its uptempo urgency and flourishes of layered funk instrumentation, the track demonstrates an impressive grasp of the genre's history, yet it remains timeless and enduring. White Cloudz's production is intricate, leaving plenty of room for Zori and D-Rum to stretch out with psychedelic vocals and razor-sharp verses that give the groove just the right amount of edge.
"Plant Life" has a cinematic quality from the onset.

It's a song that breathes each bar, vocal inflection, and beat drop feels purposeful, designed for both dance and thought.
The rhythm is underscored by a sense of storytelling, and there's a vision inside the beats, like a film scene from Donnie Brasco. With its words, beat by beat, verse by verse, it entices you through, painting a tale that is at once intimate and universal. Zori's rhythms interlock effortlessly with D-Rum's riffs, and it is this interplay that ensures the track remains enjoyable from start to finish.
With the expanded release of "Burn Som'n," fans can delve into not only "Plant Life" but also a more comprehensive look at White Cloudz's core underground, which has influenced the masses. Accompanied by bonus cuts, "Plant Life" is a tailor-made release that provides a comprehensive experience of the inception of a sound that has been celebrated in the South Bay hip-hop scene for over a decade. "Plant Life "is a symposium of style, skill, and storytelling. Joined by Zori, D-Rum, White Cloudz drops yet another cinematic, anthemic, unapologetic ode to integrity in music.
