Kid Cudi: Cudderisback

// December 2nd, 2009 // No Comments » // Music

Kid Cudi’s latest single “Cudderisback” has us scratching our heads. It seems to beg the question, “Cudi was gone?” Notwithstanding confusing terminology, Cudi’s smooth vocals blend well with a refined aura of relaxation. But don’t worry, Cudder maintains his typical verbal antics. Though the satisfying song is short, its title might precursor something bigger from the young upcoming artist.

We suggest readers of all musical tastes give the refreshing song a listen.

New Music on the… Racks?

The music industry is often described as “slowly dying.” Yes, Limewire and programs of the like harness its exploitable digital aspect. We, however, feel “slowly adapting” is a more suitable label. And this adapting has recently discovered its focal point on the World Wide Web. Consider the following
four artists: Drake, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, and Wale. Originally, these musicians found solace on the Internet. Now they have huge followings everywhere. They feature each other within their songs and two of the four (Kid Cudi and Big Sean) belong to the same record label: G.O.O.D. Music. A pretty innovative bunch, there’s no doubt about that.

Aubrey ”Drake” Graham is 22 years old. He recently signed with Young Money and Universal Distributing. He’s worked with Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West, and Jamie Foxx—just to name a few. Along with the others, Drake has countless mouth-dropping hits. Despite these facts, none of the mentioned artists have found it essential to quickly release an album. A common tribulation for the more “seasoned” entertainers, these musicians have proven that success in the music world is no longer album-dependent.

The industry is indeed becoming more net-based. Drake, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, and Wale are testament to that. In the years to come this sleepless world will only do more for similar new talent. Keep an eye out for Wiz Khalifa and Mike Posner. With their unique sound and style, these two might be the next young guns to hit the scene. Music is a universal language. Let’s embrace it wherever it may come from.

Kid Cudi’s first album will hit the racks late in August; Wale is due to follow sometime in November. We’ll keep you updated.

Just keep running, like the little girl from Forrest Gump said. Maybe I can hide up there in the chicken coop. But the air – it’s so thick; and if I just had a moment’s breathe. And as you start to slow by the bridge, you hear the sound of the giant footsteps return. Panicked, you realize that you have no option but to jump. You take the plunge; but the giant follows. It’s a highway duel, and now, your only option is a dangerous one. You take the high road; and from that point on it was all adrenaline. And space was removed from time until the chase became a vacuum of thought and sound. Will the giant make his move, running away in laughter?
