Kid Cudi Announces ‘Man on the Moon III: The Chosen’

Kid Cudi announced the latest installment of his Man on the Moon series – Man on the Moon III: The Chosen. Available this Friday, December 11 via Republic Records, the 18-track album features contributions from Phoebe Bridgers, Trippie Redd, Skepta, and the late Pop Smoke.

Man on the Moon III: The Chosen comes 10 years after the second installment of the trilogy, The Legend of Mr. Rager, and 11 years after Cudi’s Grammy-nominated debut studio album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day, which drew wide critical acclaim for its fresh and eclectic sound.

The album also follows more recent projects, including his 2016 LP, Passion, Pain & Demons Slayin’ and KIDS SEE GHOSTS with Kanye West. In June, the two artists announced an animated series based on their collaborative LP and dropped a Takashi Murakami-trailer.

More recently, Cudi teamed up with Travis Scott to release the single “The Scotts” under a project of the same name. In July, he joined forces with Eminem for the very first time for the single “The Adventures of Moon Man & Slim Shady.”

Kid Cudi also guested on a variety of recent tracks, including those by Ty Dolla Sign, Quavo, and Jaden Smith. Earlier this year, he appeared on Selena Gomez’s “A Sweeter Place,” off her new album, Rare.
