Kid Cudi - Going to the Ceremony [Stream]

[This article was originally posted by asamp at ClanEclectic.com.]
Seemingly out of nowhere, Kid Cudi has released a new song entitled Going to the Ceremony. It’s only been a little over two months since Cudi dropped his third album Indicud, so I have no clue where this track will end up. But that clearly doesn’t matter because it’s summertime and no Summer is complete without some new Cudi. The overall sound isn't new for Cudi but it is a change of pace from his most recent project. Check it out:
I fully expect Going to the Ceremony to be the soundtrack for BBQ's and fireworks displays everywhere this weekend.

Kid Cudi feat. Kendrick Lamar - Solo Dolo Part II [MP3]

So, Kid Cudi's much-anticipated third [or fourth, depending on who you ask] album Indicud leaked yesterday, or so I heard through the Twitters. Upon first listen, the album has an exceptionally strong start but seems to fizzle out pretty hard toward the end. The early highlight, other than previously released singles King Wizard and Immortal has to be the Kendrick Lamar-assisted Solo Dolo Part II. Now, I'm not sure how someone can make a song with someone else and still call it Solo Dolo, but this song works and it goes. For some strange reason, Kendrick is still hungry and Cudi's still Cudi. [And I mean that in the best way possible.] Check out Solo Dolo Part II:

Cudi is always an artist that leads to debate and early thoughts on Indicud are mixed. I've always been a fan of his. I mean, he makes music to rage and drink beer to, what's not to love. But at the same time, I've felt let down at some points in the past. But at least with this album, we might as well wait until it's actually released to completely dissect it.....yeah right. Where's the fun in that?

@sampgetssnooks I'm good on that.

@sampgetssnooks that's exactly how I feel. I don't think he will top the first cd tho

@sartorialbee @sampgetssnooks this argument may be moot because I'm sitting here listening to Indicud feeling like I'm ascending to Valhalla

RT @zannygetpanties: You listen to Cudi for crazy melodic humming gibberish shit. I love that shit man. Cudi sings like a didgeridoo

Back. Hopefully For Good.

A lot has changed since I last posted:

• Lebron got a ring....finally, 
• I've finished 4 of 5 seasons of the greatest show in the history of the world, Friday Night Lights [Full post coming soon] and
• My sister Alexis ripped her pants when she was raging too hard here in DC. [Love you, Lex!] 

All in all, the summer has started off with a bang and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon.

This Weekend. Whoa.

Atlanta Next Week....Finally.

I'm finally making it back to Atlanta next week. Although it's for work and only a couple of days (Tuesday & Wednesday), I'm mad excited to make it back down to the A. If we consider ourselves friends you probably have my phone number, BBM, Twitter, whatever. If you don't, no worries. I can be easily found at these places:

• Tin Lizzy's
• Morehouse
• Moe's & Joe's
• Probably Tin Lizzy's again

And that's pretty much it.

I'm only in town for a few days so hit me up if you're down for a light to moderate [to extreme] rage session.
