Kid Cudi’s “Indicud” Release Date Pushed Up to 4/16!

Following the leak of Indicud, Kid Cudi went on Twitter to announce that the album release has been PUSHED UP to next week 4/16. Here’s what he had to say:

Ok so, INDICUD will be released April 16th now. Physical and digitally!! SPREAD THE WORD!! APRIL 16!! INDICUD!! LOCK THAT DATE IN EVERYBODY! dont fuck around ha. The album packaging is dope. Cant wait for everyone to have the official shit.

Lets be clear, Michael Fuckin Bolton is one of the greatest and most down to earth human beings ive ever had the pleasure of workin w. Life changing session. And he gave me amazing advice on how to handle my business w a different approach. Mentor status foreal. Love him. The dream just keeps on getting better…feelin good about me.

Any one expecting each new release to be like one of my previous albums will never be satisfied. When u grow, some people get left behind. Im not the sad miserable kid I was makin MOTM1 & 2. Be happy im not and embrace the new me. Dont be close minded. Go w my flow and enjoy it. No one will bring me low at this point in my life. Im not ur miserable muse any more. Time to grow up. Of course the old shit was and will always be the shit. I was wild, young and livin with out limits. Thats always an awesome theme.People are scared to grow up. Even I was but not anymore. Blame it on bein 29 I guess. I wanna be wiser and more at peace. And im still so rock n rollie ha.

SO DOPE!

RZA, Too $hort, Kendrick Lamar on Kid Cudi’s “Indicud” Album

So it looks like Cudi recently hit up twitter a week ago to reveal that his buddy listened to the album. Not only that, but Mark Webber provided a short review of the album (also, via twitter), which you can read below:

I had the honor of being blessed with listening to @ducidni ’s new album yesterday. and I had my mind totally BLOWN!!!! It’s a masterpiece. @ducidni has first of all made all the beats to all the tracks. I have never in my life heard “beats” like this before, it’s unfair to actually call them “beats” in a way as they transcend the term. His music entirely transcends the medium. When he first came in the game He changed the game. And he has done it again. Rappers beware, or be inspired rather, because @ducidni has single handily raised the bar to a whole other realm. Hip Hop just got elevated. MUSIC just got elevated. His flow is RIDICULOUS. In one track he demolishes the entire game, with some verses that I 100% guarantee will melt your brain. Each track is a classic, the fucking intro alone will be studied.

and he doesn’t just have filler guest appearances. Each artist who appears on a track with him, is there for a very specific reason Playing intricate roles to each superb track. @RZA kills it. @tooshortkills it. And @kendricklamar kills it. INSTANT CLASSICS.@ducidni sings, writes, raps, composes on a level I’ve never experienced. I’ve been a fan of hip hop my whole life, and all I can say is THANK YOU @ducidni. Hip hop got better, MUSIC got better.

As a Huge Cudi’s fan, that’s an obviously biased opinion, but I hope it holds true
