After a game changing mixtape drop of “A Kid Named Cudi” Kid Cudi has just released his first studio album entitled “Man on the Moon: The End of Day”. The future is bright for this young artist who has already worked with Kanye and Common.

This track nicknamed “The Wake and Bake Song” shows Cudi’s unique ability to rap over tracks that are not traditionally considered hip-hop beats. While he doesn’t quite have the lyrical skills as other newcomers such as Drake, I completely respect his fresh approach to hip-hop.

“Cause in the end they’ll judge me anyway so whatever.”
