Late Late Show with Cure For Paranoia: Cameron McCloud & Friends

Line-up: CAMERON McCLOUD – MC
Full band line-up to be confirmed

Dallas alternative hip-hop collective Cure For Paranoia make their Ronnie Scott’s debut, led by rapper Cameron McCloud. Winners of NPR Music’s 2026 Tiny Desk Contest with their track “No Brainer”, the group fuse hip-hop, soul, jazz and funk with candid lyrics that tackle mental health, identity and politics.

McCloud founded the project as a way to channel his own experiences into music that might resonate with others. In 2025, he challenged himself to write and post a new verse every day, a year of work that helped bring the collective to a wider audience. Expect sharp lyricism, live-band energy and a sound that moves freely between styles, as Cure For Paranoia bring their Late Late Show to Ronnie’s as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.

“Dallas alt-hip-hop collective Cure for Paranoia aren’t just releasing music, they’re releasing manifestos disguised as grooves… the musical equivalent of letting sunlight into every corner of the room—even the ones you usually keep closed… defiant, vulnerable, and fiercely motivational all at once.”
