THIS IS LIL WHY

Kid Cudi- Falling Star (RK3 Remix)

What a mellifluous blend of dichotomous artists: Hip-Hop meets Florence (her combination of powerhouse vocals and eerie, potent instrumentals places her work in its own genre). Hip-Hop benefits so immensely from a striking voice, eh? Meanwhile, diva-esq tracks mesh well with some sick beats. 

Symbiosis at its best.

Kanye West- Good Friday Feat. Common, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Big Sean & Charlie Wilson

Isn’t every Friday good at College?  If Mr. West hosted a children’s program it would definitely sound like this (Kanye And Friends).  Thanks, Kanye, seriously (especially for the nod to Charlie Wilson) .  According to his twitter he’s releasing a new song every week because we “need” the music.  Add this one to his lengthy list of talents:

Kanye can read minds.

Kid Cudi- Erase Me Feat. Kanye West

Why would we erase this?  Wouldn’t that imply that this was a mistake?  Far from it!  How fun is this bass line, the build is great.  Basically, a pseduo-punk, pop track made by some fab rappers with a sprinkle of 90s sound. 

  Keep up the sketchin’, Kid, whatever you’re doing, it’s working! 

Kid Cudi- I Do My Thing Feat. Snoop Dog

He may be called “kid” but he is certainly not joking about doing his own thing!  We’ll let ya know how both dogs sound laterrrrr.

No kidding.

The Prayer- Kid Cudi and Band Of Horses

When we heard this song, it was like a little prayer. Fab re-thinking of an already epic song.

Dan Black- Symphonies Feat. Kid Cudi

This sample is FINE.  As if we didn’t think “Umbrella” was profound before, it’s incredibly clear now.   Furthermore, Wiki calls Dan Black- we kid you not- “Wonky Pop,” which BBC defines as “quirky, catchy and credible pop.”

Maybe Wonky is the new black?

Kanye West- Welcome to Heartbreak Feat. Kid Cudi

For an auto-tuney track this ain’t half bad, good work Mr. West (so much of your music has gone south).

This Kid is definitely growing up.

David Guetta- Memories Feat. Kid Cudi

Lonely Stoner meets Euro Trash.

Keep ‘em coming Davey.
