"We're just trying to push the envelope and put people up on a new sound. Each band has their sound, and WZRD is something that's very ground-roots." -- KID CUDI
Grammy Award winner KID CUDI and two time Grammy nominated producer Dot da Genius ("Day N' Nite")will introduce the world toWZRD (Universal Republic Records), their collaborative rock inspired concept album now available everywhere.
The duo, who produced the self-titled album, has crafted an unrestrained and undeniable alternative record, which takes flight on spacey production, airy synths, and KID CUDI's inimitable hypnotic hum.
The first two singles, "Brake" and "Teleport 2 Me, Jamie", became available on iTunes January 31st, and instantly pulled listeners into WZRD's audio galaxy. "Brake" shows another side of this diverse and dynamic performer, conjuring visual and vibrant space rock. Floating through a gorgeous haze of keyboards and guitars, "Teleport 2 Me, Jamie" immediately entranced fans and press alike.
In a 4.5 out of 5 star review, ARTISTdirect lauded "Teleport 2 Me, Jamie" calling it "another genre-bending masterpiece from alternative music's most daring sonic sorcerer" and naming WZRD, "one of the most anticipated albums of 2012".
It follows up KID CUDI's unanimously acclaimed second album, MAN ON THE MOON II: THE LEGEND OF MR. RAGER, which USA Today called, "so compelling", People Magazine raved, "it rewards with repeat plays", and Entertainment Weekly claimed, "No other major-label rapper in 2010 is pushing boundaries in quite the same way". The album debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and to date has sold over 490,000 copies on its way to gold this year. His first album MAN ON THE MOON: THE END OF DAY has reached certified gold by the RIAA. The album's reception, both critical and commercial, proved KID CUDI's debut as a "game-changer in hip-hop" according to music industry legend Sylvia Rhone. To this date, KID CUDI has sold over 4.6 million singles worldwide and 1.3 mobiletones.
