Henry Andrade (born November 18, 1978), known professionally as RedCloud, is an American rapper based in Los Angeles, California[1] who creates hip-hop tracks recognizably influenced by his spiritual and Indigenous heritage.

In 1991, while in the eighth grade, Andrade embraced the Christian faith and identified as a "born again" believer in Jesus Christ, subsequently renouncing his involvement in gang activities.

[8][9] The album received positive reviews from critics, with AllMusic's Jo-Ann Greene and Jesus Freak Hideout's Scott Fryberger both awarding it four and a half stars out of five.

The subsequent year, RedCloud, with the collaboration of Crystle Lightning and DJ Hydroe, evolved his music style, forming a performance crew named LightningCloud.

RedCloud's lyrical content aligns with Native American hip hop, a genre that resonates with Indigenous peoples in both the United States and Canada.

In line with other MCs, past and present, such as Litefoot, RezOfficial, Joey Stylez, and War Party, among others, RedCloud addresses Native issues, politics, and social awareness through his rap.

He incorporates traditional Native music elements into contemporary hip hop style and conducts workshops and performances aimed at raising the Indigenous consciousness among Tribal youth.
