Alternative, Hip-Hop, Indie | WZRD (KiD CuDi & Dot Da Genius) ft. Desire – Teleport 2 Me, Jamie

Posted by on January 31, 2012

Its been a pleasure watching musical genres of all kinds go from an abstract state into one colorful art form. There’s no greater evidence of this than Kid Cudi, known for dabbling in a variety of sounds and tempos, never could he simply be just a rapper. Teleport 2 Me, Jamie leans towards being an alternative indie record, and far from ever being acknowledged solely as hip hop. Actually, this track happens to sample from one of my favorite indie records, Under Your Spell by Desire. That’s a great thing, right when the game seems to have lost its oxygen, Kid Cudi’s musical diversity enters with a breath of fresh air.
Get it on iTunes.

Hip-Hop | Theophilus London – Neighbors

Posted by on November 24, 2011

Theophilus London isn’t an artist that makes an FNT post often, or a post on many other sites at that. He has a great style. He raps like Kid Cudi, but with a thicker accent, which adds more character to his awesome verses. I love the mellow hook section of the track, a great track to relax to after Thanksgiving dinner.

Hip-Hop | Kid Cudi – To Da Top

Posted by on November 7, 2011

Here’s an unreleased track from Kid Cudi, titled “To Da Top” that serves as proof to the rumors that Kid Cudi was behind the genius phrase, “That Shit Cray”, which Kanye West uses in the hit single, N***** In Paris, off Watch The Throne. It takes a minute or so for the track to get going, but once it does Kid Cudi does his thing.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Kid Cudi – Mr. Rager (Video) x Run (Video)

Posted by on September 9, 2011

Seems rather delayed for a release off his previous album, MOTM2, which dropped a mere 10 months ago, but I’ll take visuals for classic Cudi over his new ear piercing approach at wizardry (“Perfect Is The World”).   Scott takes to his actor’s side (How To Make It In America) and mashes it with his history of violence (Wallet-fan-punch & Fan Fight) for a deep video directed by Surface to Air, where he withstands the beating of the legendary Mr. Rager, until he meets his counterpart for an unpleasant ending.  Whether or not the timing of this release was directed toward fellow Cleveland-er, MGK, who responded to Cudi’s tweets regarding his use of the word “rage” and “rager” is unknown, but we do know the waters still appear to be unsettled.

Expect an album coming by year’s end from Cudi’s group, “2 Be Continuum”, along with a single or two off Man On The Moon III.

When it rain’s it pours.  Here’s another new video from The Knux which features Kid Cudi on their hit single, “Run”.  Since there is some nice boobage I’d mark this one NSFW, but if you’re at work, don’t sleep on this one when you get home cause it’s one hell of a track and video.  Keep an eye out for The Knux’s sophomore album, “Eraser” dropping September 27th.
