Kid Cudi did his best Beyoncé impression by secretly releasing his album, Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon, on iTunes. The albums only hype or warning was on the rapper's Twitter in encrypted form.
Kid Cudi has been all over the place both musically and professionally from the start. More recently he has been focusing on his acting career...or so we thought. While Cudi is in fact part of the cast for the new Need for Speed movie and also as Ahri Gold's assistant in the upcoming Entourage movie, he hasn't forgotten about the music.
The album is ten tracks long and features what we've come to expect from Mr. Rager. Cudi has always been known as the moon man and now with his fourth album, Satellite Flight he's taking a trip back to Mother Moon.
