Kid Cudi’s New Album ‘Man On The Moon III: The Chosen

Kid Cudi has finally dropped his new studio album, Man On The Moon III: The Chosen.

The 18-track project arrives a ten years after its predecessor The End of Day, and serves as the finale in his untouchable Man On The Moon album series. The project clocks in at almost an hour, The Chosen collaborates with the late Pop Smoke and Skepta on “Show Out,” and Trippie Redd on “Rockstar Knights.” He also reunites with producers Dot Da Genius, Plain Pat and Emile — who produced “Day N’ Nite”.

The musician/actor shared in an interview with Apple Music that he created many songs for this album in a span of two weeks, He added,

“I was already in a really good place working on Intergalactic, going crazy on the Scotts sh*t, had that in the chamber. But then I was making something else that didn’t fit those two projects. And I think after two or three songs, I was like, ‘Whoa, this sh*t really feels like a Man On the Moon.’ Like this is what the universe is telling me to make here.”

Cudi also touched on working with Kanye West for their KIDS SEE GHOSTS side project, he “was still completely miserable” during the record’s creation. “So that’s why Kids See Ghost was so big because it was for the first time in almost forever in the history of my career, I was really excited about doing some new sh*t that was positive, and wasn’t a downer, and it was like uplifting. And like the one thing that Kanye said he wanted to do was make a spiritual album. And I was like, ‘Yes, that’s exactly what I want to do,’” he said. He went on to say “I think the fact that we were both dealing with the same things at the same time is what made it such a solid thing…I think we were both feeling like we were entering new chapters in our lives. We just shed old skin and we’re starting new.”
