KID CUDI Schallplatten & CDs

Review: US hip hop mainstay Kid Cudi has always had his own leftfield approach to his work and that bares out in The Boy Who Flew To The Moon Vol 1 which is a captivating odyssey that finds him craft a dreamlike soundscape with celestial beats and introspective lyricism. It is a record that invites you deep into Kudi's imaginative universe as it blends genres and pushing the boundaries with its ethereal production and introspective themes. Arriving on double album with guests like none other than Pharrell Williams and Raphael Saadiq it brings neo-psychedelic and alternative hip hop energy.

Review: Only a year after concluding his ambitious 'Man On The Moon' trilogy, Kid Cudi is already reissuing the third and final instalment in the saga, 'The Chosen', in 2xLP format. Demonstrating the artist's bold sidestep into cloud rap (as opposed to stark classics like 'Day N Nite'), this album contains slow-chugging dreamers like 'Mr. Solo Dolo III' and playful gut-bouncers a-la 'Tequila Shots', spanning collabs with Trippie Redd, Skepta, Pop Smoke and folk pop sensation Phoebe Bridgers. For those invested in Kudi's artistic progression, this is a concept album finding the rapper in an internal struggle against his evil alter-ego, Mr. Rager - whether Cudi prevails is up to the listener's interpretation.
