KID CUDI RETURNS WITH THIRD STUDIO ALBUM “INDICUD”

Kid Cudi, Grammy Award winner, producer, song writer, acclaimed actor and one of hip hop’s most challenging and consistently innovative artists returned, with his highly anticipated third studio album, “Indicud” on April 15th. ‘Girls’, the forthcoming single featuring Too $hort is released on May 6th. “Indicud”, the follow up to 2010’s “Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager” comes loaded with features from the cream of today’s hottest artists, including A$AP Rocky and Haim. On ‘Solo Dollo Part II’ Cudi enlists the skills of hip hop heavyweight Kendrick Lamar, giving a new twist to part one, ‘Solo Dolo’, from his 2009 debut album “Man on the Moon: The End of Day”. Over the course of the album, Cudi expands his hip hop galaxy through mystical production, colourful soundscapes, and airtight rhyming. In less than 24 hours of going live, “Indicud” stormed up the US iTunes album charts, showing as the highest charting pre order on both the main album & hip hop album charts (#6 & #2 respectively). Cudi took to the internet to announce his latest project; trending on Twitter three times after leaking album track “Immortal”, and then took to Twitter again to reveal his self-designed album artwork and track-listing, all before an incredible performance on Jimmy Kimmel, watch it here. Backpackers and bloggers immediately jumped on Cudi back in 2008, as Kanye West proclaimed fandom online. West signed him to G.O.O.D. Music and enlisted Cudi for songwriting on "Heartless" and "Paranoid" from “808s & Heartbreak” as well as a cameo on "Welcome to Heartbreak". However, everything changed with the release of his official debut single "Day 'n' Nite". Always raising the bar and experimenting, “Indicud” comes fresh from the release of “WZRD”, an alternative rock project with Dot Da Genius, and his incredible feature on the G.O.O.D Music album “Cruel Summer” in 2012.

CHORDS, RIFFS, TABS AND TURN-AROUNDS

Gospel, Jazz, Folk, Country, Rock, Soul, B-Bop, Funk, Rhythm & Blues, Punk and Pop, it all came "Out of the Blues" . On the Focus Music page we aim to take a look at the journey popular music has made through the decades with links to influential artists of each era. Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and original Blues men including Robert Johnson, Edward Son House, Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt made their way north from the American deep South and brought the "Blues" to a wider American audience. This in turn lead to the birth of "Rock and Roll" in the 50s with artists such as Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. "The Beatles" were inspired by the great guitar riffs of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry and Little Richard's soulful sound and "Rhythm and Blues" burst onto the UK music scene in the 60s spawning the "Mersey Beat Sound" and "Beatlemania" and the rest they say is Hi...
