Kid Cudi has been a busy man of late, sharing his talents across the entertainment world as an actor and a musician. He has been starring in films, getting ready to co-host TV shows and all the while, working on his next album, Man On The Moon 3, which has fans buzzing with excitement.
To keep his loyal followers with him, Cudder has uploaded a new track titled "Love" to his soundcloud that reminds those who fell in love with the Cleveland rapper back in the late 2000s why they adore him. The tune samples Ratatat's 2010 song "Sunblocks" from their album LP4, with Dot on keys. The whole rest of the track was produced and written by Cudi.
He delivers a powerful message of self-assurance and self-love that everyone should believe in themselves and can be absent from hip-hop, beyond Kendrick Lamar's "i."
Don't be so down, come on young homie
You'll be okay, you'll find real love
All of the stories the hero gets lonely
Now is the time to show what you are made of
He described what went into making the track and his goal for the uplifting song.
"Something I made during the SF sessions. produced by me, keys by Dot. Sample is from one of my favorite Ratatat jams "Sunblocks". And love to Evan and Mike for allowing me to release it.. For you. Hope it brings you some peace if you have a lonely heart out there."

He is in the process of making Man On The Moon 3 now with the same cast of producers as before. If "Love" is any indication of what is to come, this could be a very special album in what is shaping up to be a banner year of music.
