Kid Cudi – Dennis, Hook Me Up With Some More Of This Whiskey!
I know your mind is racing right now. Your heart is pulsating. I get it. You’re probably not even reading these words. You just hit the play button below and are ignoring my eloquent writing. I don’t blame you. My writing isn’t even that eloquent! But if you are for some reason reading this, let me at least make it worth your while. This track is cool for a number of reasons.
- It was produced by Cudi himself and features his old track “Ghost” in reverse with some new drums and guitar.
- It features soundbites from the President of the United States of America and the (awesome) British sci-fi comedy Attack the Block. Let me just remind you that this is all in the same song.
- And Kid Cudi raps on it.
- And the song title is long and supports alcoholism. Swag.

KiD CuDi Premieres New Rap Song
Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Footage of a rap song from CuDi in New York!
People ask CuDi all the time when he will start rapping again. He should blatantly tell those people to fuck off and to appreciate the fact that he’s still making music.
Can’t believe I’m about to do this, but Cudder, my man, if you ever see this, we would really like you to drop a rap project, BUT I’m not complaining about WZRD at all. I appreciate you as an artist (pause).
This video proves why people want him to return to old form.

KiD CuDi – Dose of Dopeness
Okay, to some, this may seem like a brand new song, and technically it is to us at least, but CuDi has been performing this song since back in 2008 (did my research) and it finally saw the light of day with the help of his PIC (partner in crime), Dot Da Genius. I’m not quite sure where this will land, maybe a new rap mixtape, or if it’s just a lil gift from the pair in preparation for WZRD, but who knows. Most people will like this because this was made back in the day before MOTM, MOTM2, and WZRD. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!
WZRD – February 28th.
WZRD – Album Snippets and Preview
I woke up this morning to a message from Arjun saying that WZRD decided to release snippets of their album for the world to preview. I jumped out of bed almost immediately and clicked play. I listened a few times through, and then a few more times. I’ve come to the unfulfilling conclusion that I can’t pre-judge the album before I hear the whole thing, but I can guess what my overall rating out of 10 will be. To do this, I gave each song a (prejudiced) 5-star rating, and then calculated what that would come out to out of a full 10 stars. I end up with a pre-rating of 8.1. To be honest, I think I’m giving this album extra padding in this pre-rating. I don’t think it’s going to live up to an 8.1 just after hearing the snippets. I’m going to hope that it can, but for now it’s sounding a little too out there, and too far from Kid Cudi’s original style, for me to really fall for it. What do you guys think?
Hear two full songs (Brake and Teleport 2 Me) and see the full tracklisting here.

WZRD – Teleport 2 Me, Jamie (Full Version) and Brake (Single Version)
Kid Cudi’s newest project, WZRD, has just released the full version of “Teleport 2 Me, Jamie,” off of their upcoming album. Cudi and Dot Da Genius (who make up WZRD) had previously released a snippet of this song and I immediately fell in love. Of course my main criticism of the song is that it isn’t called “Teleport 2 Me, Lydia,” but I’ll let that one slide. He didn’t want to be too obvious, right?
I watched The Bachelor tonight and as much as I love sweet Ben F., I really do love Cudder with so much of my heart. Someday he’ll find out and come running to me. I’ll be here, Scotty. I’ll even Teleport 2 U. Ugh, I’m so pathetically in love.
“I can’t stand the times when I’m alone at night and I feel your side of the bed and it’s cold, hey, mm/ I’m wide awake I don’t know the time cuz I’m too busy texting you on my phone, saying/ I want you girl/ and I need your body/ Right here/ Wont you teleport to me?”
As a bonus, they also released the single version of their controversial song, “Brake.” I’m still not loving this song. I don’t hate it! But “Teleport 2 Me, Jamie” is far better, and gives me hope that the album will win my heart.
The album will be released February 28th and the full tracklist is as follows:
1. The Arrival
2. High Off Life
3. The Dream Time Machine
4. Love Hard
5. Live & Learn
6. Brake
7. Teleport 2 Me, Jamie (Feat. Desire)
8. Where Did You Sleep Last Night
9. Efflictim
10. Dr. Pill
11. The Upper Room

EDIT: For some reason this never published at the right time, but here’s your FAF, a day late
I’m super excited guys. The NBA is officially back tonight. Okay, it’s just preseason, but the fact that I’m not already watching my team makes every game that much sweeter. And you’ll see that I dedicated the first FAF song to this celebratory occasion. What’s errbody up to this weekend? #TGIFAF
1. “NYE Chicago Bulls Intro (Remix)” – Pretty Lights
Pretty Lights – NYE Chicago Bulls Intro Remix by prettylights
In anticipation of the renewed and upcoming NBA season, I wanted to spread some Luvabulls with you. Pretty Lights dropped this live to ring in 2011 just about a year ago, and Congress Theater in Chitown went almonds to say the least. Yeah, I’m a Bulls fan, but you don’t have to be one to appreciate this NBA jam.
2. “I.D.G.A.F.O.S.” – Dillon Francis
Dillon Francis – I.D.G.A.F.O.S. by DILLONFRANCIS
La-La Land native Dillon Francis is one of Mad Decent’s best. Diplo sure knows how to pick ‘em, eh?
3. “Pursuit of Happiness (Steve Aoki Remix)” – Kid Cudi
Kid Cudi – Pursuit of Happiness (Steve Aoki Remix) by steveaoki
This is probably my all time favorite remix of Cudder. I got a chance to catch this song live when Aoki threw down in Madtown last year. It was a riot. There was champagne everywhere, crowd surfing via inflatable rafts and a lot of fucking sweat.
4. “This Plane (Viceroy Jet Life Remix)” – Wiz Khalifa
Wiz Khalifa – This Plane (Viceroy Jet Life Remix) by VICEROY
Maaan. What ever happened to the Kush and Orange Juice Wiz? You know, before he dyed a patch of his hair blonde and started messing around with Yeezy-taught Amber rose? I miss that dude. The least we can do now is enjoy his remixes I suppose. Taylor Gang or…
5. “A Real Hero (feat. Electric Youth)” – College
College feat. Electric Youth – A Real Hero by College
Save this one for Sunday morning, it’s got that type of vibe. Much of the appeal I got from watching Drive–whom a lot consider to be the year’s best flick–was from the soundtrack, and this was used prominently throughout the film. Enjoy some synth pop magic while getting flashbacks of Ryan Gosling stomping a dude’s head in.
Steve Aoki ft. Kid Cudi & Travis Barker – CuDi The Kid
Steve Aoki recruits CuDi & Travis Barker for this brand new song off of his upcoming project.
I don’t even like this song. Really, it’s weird and I just can’t find the appeal for it. Yet, I can’t stop listening to it. And there’s the appeal. That’s just the effect that Scott Mescudi has on me. Can’t stop, won’t stop. CuDi for the win!
Friday At Five [Weekend Music]
#TGIFAF. I think I’m still hungover from last weekend. The first ever Big Ten Championship game in Indianapolis was awesome. It was my first time in Naptown, and treated me well Naptown did. If you’re ever around, Wild Beaver Saloon is a dope spot. Any readers from Indy? Anyway, I’ve collected five tracks for you guys to drop it like it’s hot as the workweek/school week comes to a close. What’s everybody up to this weekend?
1. “Bass Down Low (Proper Villains Remix) – Dev
The Cataracs ft Dev- Bass Down Low (Proper Villains Remix) by proper villains
Eletro beatsmith Proper Villains takes this quintessential Dev jam and makes it completely filthy. Shouts to tha brother for finding this one. #DirtyGirlsLoveDubstep
2. “Just Wanna Dance Yrself Clean (Jay-Z x LCD Soundsystem) – The Hood Internet
Just Wanna Dance Yrself Clean (Jay-Z x LCD Soundsystem) by hoodinternet
What happens when you strap together a hook from Skateboard P, bars from Jigga and production from
James Murphy? IT’S. ABOUT. TO GO. DOWN!
3. “Levels (Haydn Hoffman Remix)” – Avicii
Avicii – Levels (Haydn Hoffman Bootleg Remix) by haydnhoffman
California native Haydn Hoffman puts his own spin on Jordan’s favorite song. Ever. Seriously, he fucking loves this song.
4. “Helena Beat (Com Truise Remix)” – Foster The People
Foster The People – Helena Beat (Com Truise Remix) by Com Truise
Indie blog darlings turned played-at-every-bar-I-went-to-this-summer Foster The People get a nice treatment by hilariously named Com Truise. At least it’s not “Pumped Up Kicks,” right? Right.
5. “Make Her Say (Sammy Bananas Remix)” – Kid Cudi
Kid Cudi – Make Her Say ft. Kanye West & Common (Sammy Bananas Remix) by Sammybananas
Is it safe to say that Lydia is BANANAS for Kid Cudi. See what I did there?
WZRD – Teleport 2 Me (Snippet)
Kid Cudi took to Twitter last night to drop this two-minute sample of the first single from his highly-anticipated “punk rock” collaboration with his long-time producer Dot Da Genius. The song is definitely more polished and catchy than his other recent release “Brake,” which I was disappointed with. I’m really not sure how “Teleport 2 Me” is “punk rock” though. It sounds similar to a lot of Cudi’s other material, which is, for the most part, genre-less. Why Scott Mescudi has the urge to define his music beats me. You would think he’d pride himself in creating an entirely unique sound. Anyhow, I enjoyed this snippet–a return of the Cudder we know and love–and hopefully, this will appease some of the skeptics until January 30th, the still-unnamed album’s current release date.
Shout out to Kanye To The forum member Ty Gonzalez for the fan art.

WZRD – Brake
I’m aiming for the world record in posting after KiD CuDi let this joint out via his twitter. How did I go about doing this? I’ve had this post ready since 12:50 so I could just insert the song and hit publish.
A new chapter in Scott’s music career. The next step. And after hearing “Rap Hard,” you gotta give this man props as he’s evolved into a tremendous artist. Critics tend to have a negative opinion on rappers turning into rockers, so we shall see how the public reacts to this one.
The first single from WZRD, composed of the duo of KiD CuDi & Dot Da Genius.
Enjoy!
MP3: Brake – WZRD
Lydia edit: You know, I was waiting for this day to come and had a feeling that I would either love it or hate it. Frankly, I’m definitely leaning toward loving it. I still wish it had the beat of a hip hop song that I know Dot Da Genius can bring to the table, but I always thought that Cudder was a better singer than rapper. Hearing him lay a melody on a track is something I always wished for more of, so it seems we might be on the right path. Still love you, Cudder.
[Unreleased] KiD CuDi – Rap Hard Mixtape
Wowowowowowow. Words can’t describe how happy I am right now and I haven’t even started listening yet. These are the songs Cudder made back from 2001-2003 before he started to get noticed. I guess you can call it his “demo” tape that he was showing everyone back in the day before Kanye noticed him. Definitely gonna be checking this one out all night. Enjoy!

KiD CuDi – To Da Top
This song was definitely recorded from a few years ago and we finally know where “That Shit Cray” came from. Listen to around the 50 second area and you hear Cudder say those magical words. The meaning of “That Shit Cray” is still up in the air, but there was a rumor going around twitter that it actually revolved around the “Kray Brothers.” What is the story behind “That Shit Cray!”
Nonetheless, new CuDi. Dope unreleased tune from him. Cheeeeeeeck it!
