Kid Cudi Guests On Steve Aoki’s “Cudi The Kid”
Wed Dec 14 2011 by Becky Bain
David Guetta isn't the only DJ/producer teaming up with some big acts to bring Euro dance beats here to the US. Steve Aoki will release Wonderland in early 2012, and the record scratcher tapped WZRD man Kid Cudi for the appropriately named album cut "Cudi The Kid" (which also features Travis Barker on drums). For Cudi fans who have a predilection for hallucinogens or mind-altering experiences (though the rapper is now drug-free, we assume there's still a handful of you out there), this ravey track should suit you just fine.

If you're still skeptical about Kid Cudi's new personality switch from tokin' rapper to sober rocker (check out his newest rock offering "Perfect Is The Word" here), we can't blame you for wanting a little bit more of the Cudder of yesterday. Feast your eyes on the previously unreleased video for "Marijuana", a track from his last album, Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager, in which Cudi and friends take a pilgrimage to pot HQ, Amsterdam. Weirdly enough, the clip was directed, shot and edited by Shia LaBeouf, otherwise known as the only human in the Transformers movies (including Megan Fox). Watch below, and see if you can spot cameos by Travis Barker and David Guetta somewhere in the haze of smoke! More » Adele Returns To #1 On The Album Chart
