KiD CuDi Announces WZRD EP

Since the full-length WZRD album was pushed back to a February 28th release, we've heard nothing but good news from CuDi and Dot Da Genius including the second single, 'Teleport 2 Me, Jamie'. During Monday night's WZRD LP listening party, Cudi announced that another 5-track EP would be released sometime during the Spring or Summer.

“We are doing an EP already and it’s going to be coming out in a couple months,” Cudi told the crowd. “We just can’t stop making records. I made a new record the other day that’s really, really, really phenomenal. So we’re gonna put out this five-track EP just to fuckin’ put out some jams.” While Dot added, “The EP is gonna be great. Expect greatness.”

 Too soon to say if this is good news or bad news since we haven't heard enough material from the duo's first album, but at least we know that CuDi is serious about this new sound.

Curren$y - Muscle Car Chronicles [Album]

There was a lot of buzz around Curren$y's Muscle Car Chronicles album during the late summer months, but the talk seemingly dropped off out of nowhere and discussion about the album ceased. Now months later, he dropped the album on iTunes yesterday in a move that you would only expect from someone like Curren$y. With all of the free music he's given us over the year, like his most recent Here EP, head on over to iTunes to support Spitta's newest album.

Nicki Minaj - Starships [Artwork]

Guess I was wrong about Nicki's track that she performed during The Grammys to be up next for an iTunes singles. However, word is her Ryan Seacrest will be debuting this new single from Nicki, called 'Starships', tomorrow on his radio show. According to him, the track is going to be a huge success. I guess after all of those years working on American Idol gives him some kind of credibility with music, right? We'll have til tomorrow to see.

However, they will still be releasing the first two singles, 'Brake' and 'Teleport 2 Me', on iTunes on the original release date. Shouts to RR.

"Hey Guys, WZRD Update. Me and Cudi have been working on our debut album and it’s almost near completion. We are in the final stages of mastering but we really had to take time and pay attention to the sonics as this is new territory for us.

With that being said, we have decided to change the release date. We are looking roughly at Feb 28th. Y’all know how Cudi is’ and I’m the same way. Everything has to be in place and now it is. I know it’s late notice, we were trying to keep the date but got wrapped up making this album perfect for y’all.

However for making you guys wait a little longer we will release ‘Brake‘ & ‘Teleport 2 Me‘ on iTunes on the previously said date. AS WELL AS ‘DOSE OF DOPENESS’. Hopefully that will hold you guys over until the album drops!"
