[Hip-Hop] Hit-Boy – Old School Caddy (ft. Kid Cudi)

Posted by Ash El Gamal - July 30, 2012

Today, producer Hit-Boy let loose his second track as a rapper featuring his always innovative G.O.O.D. Music labelmate, Kid Cudi. Hit-Boy delivers some impressive, mellow raps and a great chorus over his own smooth instrumental. Since his first mixtape, almost five years ago, Kid Cudi has been one of my personal favorite artists out. On this cut, he utilizes his unique, expressive voice and melodic flow to perfectly compliment the chill production. After his experimental rock effort, WZRD, the man on the moon returns to rapping with a familiar, but evolved, style making his upcoming album, Indicud, one of my my most anticipated of the year. The G.O.O.D. dudes join forces create an August anthem.

Kid Cudi – Dennis, Hook Me Up With Some More Of That Whiskey

Posted by Blas Yaselli - April 26, 2012

Kid Cudi is back. And not the guy that attempted to go the rock route with WZRD. “Dennis, Hook Me Up With Some Of That Whiskey” is a self produced tracks that takes inspiration from most of his earlier work yet still showing us maturity in both lyricism and production.

[Epic Collab] Steve Aoki ft. Kid Cudi & Travis Barker – Cudi The Kid (Lucky Date Remix)

Posted by Rex Buchanan - April 5, 2012

Steve Aoki took his hype man tactics up about 12 notches this year at Ultra Music Festival by crowd boating and throwing a cake in a lucky girls face at the drop of his latest track “Emergency”. People that hate on him for not focusing on DJing all the time miss the point – this man is a showman and a producer to be reckoned with. His latest single “Cudi The Kid” is nothing short of epic with vocals from Kid Cudi himself and drums from LA punk rocker Travis Barker. If that weren’t enough there are already a slew of remixes coming down the pipeline like this machine-step one from Lucky Date. All hail the electro kingpin Aoki!

[New] WZRD – Brake

Posted by Clare Williams - November 22, 2011

Hip-hop star Kid Cudi has teamed up with producer Dot Da Genius to form WZRD, short for ‘wizard’. Their aim: to bring back energetic, rebellious and vibrant punk rock, but without any swears. It’s a big challenge, but judging by the taut vocals and guitar on ‘Brake’, they’ve made an intriguing leap into punk, and one that’ll garner a lot of attention, for the better or for the worse. The album, ‘WZRD’, will be out on January 30.

[Mashup] Kid Cudi – Falling Star (R3K Remix)

Posted by SkeetBeatz - May 11, 2011

Colorado native Riley Keating a.k.a R3K has created an unbelievable mashup called “Falling Star”. He replaces Dan Black’s vocals from “Symphonies” with verses from Florence and The Machine’s “Cosmic Love”, and it is flawless. “Symphonies” was one of Kudi’s biggest tracks, and this version may even be better.

Kid Cudi – Symphonies (Kill Them With Colour) [Awesome Remix]

Posted by Blas Yaselli - November 15, 2010

GIVE ME SYMPHONIES! One of the most addicting hooks from London musicians Dan Black with his collaboration with Kid Cudi on the song “Symphonies” that we blogged a few months ago. While Dada Life’s remix of this very song was much more drilling with a heavy steady bass and primarily using Dan’s vocals, The revised version of Kill Them With Colour highlights Cudi’s rapid fire rhymes and layers it with a huge wave of overstretched electronic melodies that even though it heavily saturates the track, the end result feels clean and easily digestible.

A banger? I wouldn’t go as far as considering it as one but there is enough aggression here to make it on the dance floor.

[Hip/Hop] KiD CuDi – Maniac Feat. Cage

Posted by Geoffrey - October 15, 2010

The perpetually moody Kid Cudi has partnered with Weatherman frontman Cage to release a track where Cudder croons “I am the maniac, I am the ghoul, I’m in the shadows in the corner of my room”.

The track (that conveniently appears soon before the release of Cudi’s newest album) features a strong verse from Cage and Kid Cudi drops some sly lines as well. The potency of the track comes from a sample of hipster-rockers St. Vincent mixed with ethereal pads and guitars.

It’s a good track that further states Kid Cudi’s intention of landing somewhere in between Pink Floyd and The Roots.

The Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr Rager drops November 9th on GOOD Music/Universal Motown.
