So, About This Whole Kid Cudi WZRD “Brake” Thing (Listen & Download)

It happened so quietly I think a lot of people missed it, but just for the record - Kid Cudi (figuratively) torched his house and is rebuilding it from scratch. After kicking a burgeoning coke habit and having a child, Cudi fired almost all of his team, including long time and highly influential manager Plain Pat, stopped putting music out as Cudi, formed a band with Dot Da Genius called WZRD, and is now transforming himself into an experimental rock frontman; which isn't that far off what he was all along.

For the record, I'm not against rappers doing rock projects, I'm just against rappers doing shitty rock projects (cough, "Rebirth", cough). Luckily, as WZRD's first release "Brake" shows, WZRD are actually pretty good. "Brake" will be far from everyone's style, but at the very least they sound like legit rockers instead of rappers playing rock dress-up (cough LIl Wayne cough). Personally, I'm down to hear more WZRD, let's see if RefinedHype Nation agrees:
