"Pursuit of Happiness" by Kid Cudi hits YouTube

I posted the track, "Make her say" by Kid Cudi last month which features appearances by Common as well as Kanye.

It's off his upcoming album, "Man on the Moon: End of the Day" which is set to drop...I believe...next Tuesday so that's September 15th, 2009.

Also on that disc, and recently spotted on YouTube, will be the highly acclaimed track, "Pursuit of Happiness".

Why all the attention? Well the track features a collaboration with Ratatat (who also helped produce the album in its entirety) and MGMT. Each act is at the top of heap of artists to watch right now and you could imagine something big like this will happen when you put them all in a blender and press the mix button.



What do you think of the track?

Kid Cudi - "Make Her Say"

I'm still hesitant to give in to a lot of new hip hop these days.
Hell I was WAAY past my prime on Weezy, whos Carter III I just now put on my ipod.

So when I heard some friends talking about Kid Cudi I jumped right on it, but didn't expect much. "Day n Nite" was all over the place, one hit wonder I figured.
I downloaded his debut mixtape, "A Kid Named Cudi" (Still available for free DL) and gave it a spin. "Solid stuff.", I thought to myself, but wasn't going to go around touting him until he dropped something official.

Sure enough, Cudi announced his debut studio album, "Man on the Moon: The End of Day" for release in August and my golly gee whiz if it doesn't feature some of the biggest names on...every music scene. Everyone from Kanye, to MGMT, to Ratatat (whom I talk up a lot on this blog) make an appearance on the album.

Just found this video for the song, "Make Her Say" which also includes the likes of Kanye West and common. Not only is it a good song, but the video is very impressive. See what you think. Next big thing? Guess we'll have to wait until August...
