The track ‘Show Out’ - featuring Skepta and a posthumous verse from beloved rapped Pop Smoke - will undoubtedly prove to be the hit single of the album, seemingly acting as Frankenstein’s monster of what’s hot in both UK and US rap scenes. The Moon Man subsequently weaves his classic psychedelic spin over the foundations of the tracks, with pulsating synths and subtle bells acting as musical stars in the fabric of the kaleidoscopic sky Mescudi is painting. Īct One tracks ‘Another Day’, ‘Tequila Shots’ and ‘She Knows This’ take heavy influence from the new school of young up and coming rappers a position, until recently, Cudi was used to leading. Trap Hi-Hats, dripping wet autotuned ad-libs and booming 808 kicks (traits seldom found on a Cudi record) dominate the opening two acts of this four-part epic. Now in 2020 Cudi has expressed a need to prove his ability as a rapper and a lyricist, stating this plainly in an interview during the lead up to the keenly awaited final entry into his ‘Man On The Moon’ series.įeeling “slept on” and wanting to reconnect with his younger audience again, Scott spends the first half of this project doing his very best ode to his protégé Cactus Jack. Then in 2018 Cudi and Ye finally made a collaborative project - Kids See Ghosts – that was lauded with universal acclaim, cementing Scott Mescudi as one of the best rappers in the game today. The past decade saw Mescudi nestle under Kanye’s West’s wing, providing his beautiful iconic hums for every Ye release since ‘808’s And Heartbreak’. However, the past 10 years haven’t been all lows for the Cleveland superstar.

Since 2010 he has released five LP’s all to critical disapproval, his 2015 album ‘Speeding Bullet To Heaven’ even making many “worst albums of the 2010s” top spots. The past 10 years since Cudi’s second ‘Man On The Moon’ outing have been wildly polarising for the moon man.

His ‘Man On The Moon’ series has proved critically divisive, yet extremely culturally significant, with his fellow The Scott’s co-member Travis Scott citing Mescudi as the main influence for his musical journey even naming himself after him. Whether or not this idea results in an amazing second disc doesn’t particularly matter, I just appreciate the fact that these extras won’t just be sitting in the cold depths of Cudi’s hard drive.Kid Cudi’s musical career has been one of ups and downs. He calls it “the extras,” a tracklit made up of demos, unreleased songs, rehearsals, outtakes and more.

The first disc will be the album itself, but the second disc is where things get interesting. While a release date for the album might linger until the right moment, Kid Cudi also revealed that this album will be a double disc. Indicud was a much better album than it seemed to be recieved as, and when it comes to this new album, we only have “Confused” to go on, and that record doesn’t sound half-bad, so you can consider me excited.

Personally, I’ve never dismissed Cudi entirely and I've always given him a fair chance each time. “This album is 100% the purest form of my artistic self,” he tweeted in July. Sure, most would love to have Man On The Moon III instead of Speedin’ Bullet To Heaven, but he's also always made the music he wants regardless of expectations. It’s hard to pinpoint what his fans want because Cudi has never stuck to one lane. This is not meant to doubt Kid Cudi’s upcoming album.
