Kid Cudi's sophomore album Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager won't be in stores until November 9th, but the moody MC is already working on the follow-up. Kudi announced last night at his album listening party in NYC that he's formed a band and is working on a rock album.
“I already have three songs done. Our band is called Wizards! We’re starting to record on the tour bus. We’ll be doing college runs.” Kudi also said working on the rock album inspired him to learn the guitar. “I never thought I could play an instrument. I always downplayed that shit.”
The rapper did admit learning the guitar late in life was not as easy as he had hoped. “It was like learning how to read sheet music. F**k that! That’s like learning how to read again!” He's vowed not to quit and plans to play the guitar on every song and advised others to “at least give it a shot.”
As for Mr. Ranger, “This is an album that will get you through any problem that you may have, and I specifically made this album for y’all,” he stated. “When I was growing up, I didn’t have songs like this. This is my motivation.”
Good luck Cudi. I'm hoping you get much success out of this album as well as the rock album. I just hope it's way better than that shitty mess Lil Wayne came out with last year that tried to pass as rock. I'm all for artists stepping out of the box and taking risks. I Madonna can learn the guitar late in her career I don't see it being an issue for you. I've always had the ability of learning music by ear instead of learning the sheet music, which is quite hard to read. Looking forward to hearing the rock album once it's done. I just wish there were more artist out there like Cudi who were more interested in making music instead of wanting instant fame. As for the HBO series "How To Make it in America," when is that show coming back?
