WZRD is the continued evolution of the artist Kid Cudi. He consistently eschews the labels of rapper and Hip-Hop artist to create music that compels his spirit. Cudi may never have been a rapper, but instead he is a kid who used rap to propel himself into the upper atmosphere. Now that Cudi is above the clouds he can fly free.
What may have been holding Kid Cudi tethered to the Earth were his addictions which he is happy to say he has discarded at this point. Salute this man for staying on his evolutionary timeline and producing an album which is genre bending like KanYe West’s ‘808 & Heartbreaks’ split the barrier of rap and soul music. Fux with WZRD.
Kid Cudi – ‘High Off Life’

Interesting… My problem with this track DP isn’t that it’s non-rap but that I very much dislike the particular rock influences he’s drawlin’ on; that’s going to perhaps be a problem the older we get but there you go.
I know Prince is an impossible role model to aspire to but that’s my standard, along with Jimi, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin, Stevie, P-Funk, various ’70s/’80s punks etc. I like the Ramones more than the Clash but that’s my Rockaway Beach roots showing.
any white kids i encounter now i tell not to do rock music anymore, there time like mine has passed them by. its a joke but this cudi shit is strait trash stay in your lane and whats up wit twit pics of your new tats sliced wrists is that whats cool nowadays showing off them pics to your young impressionable audience, grow the fuck up loser.
Man people can have opinions but this album is good.
Umm, no. I’m not really a huge Cudi fan, but, thought his previous projects, particularly the second, was quite a bit stronger than this. He may have no worries now, and his art could suffer for it, Mary J Blige.
