@kxtradio Homegrown Artist of the Week & @tacobell#FeedTheBeat artist: Cure For Paranoia 🎶 Do they even need an introduction? For more than a decade, Dallas hip-hop collective Cure For Paranoia has been building something great.
In 2025, McCloud wrote a verse every day, reflecting on mental health, politics, and self-acceptance—topics that continue to shape the group's music.
Cure For Paranoia is just getting started.
Before Cure for Paranoia heads out on their NPR Tiny Desk Contest tour, the Dallas band hosted an intimate performance at the Winspear in collaboration with Pegasus Contemporary Ballet. (🎥; Caitlin Clark)
