Kid Cudi Pulls From A Nostalgic Era For “The Moon Man Survives”

by

Kid Cudi is an artist and multi-talented one at that. Throughout his musical career he’s moved into other areas of entertainment including acting and now comic books. The Cleveland native partnered with Image Comics to release his first ever series called Moon Man. It launched at the very end of January this year and there’s going to be seven issues in total. As of today, Scott Mescudi is on the fifth comic and its available now here. The final book will be out on January 15, 2025, and coincidentally, that is potentially when the soundtrack for Moon Man will arrive. It just says 2025 on the annotation, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it dropped that month or soon after.

He has been teasing this accompanying project since the start of this comic book venture and we are four tracks deep now. That is accurate as of just a few hours ago because Kid Cudi has delivered “THE MOON MAN SURVIVES.” The premise of the comics are about a man wanting to live a normal life after a failed mission to the moon. However, the complete opposite happens throughout the story and those themes pop up in this track here. Cudi’s character, Ramon, struggles to be well at times. But on “THE MOON MAN SURVIVES,” it seems that he’s a strong individual who is able to overcome setbacks. Fans appreciate the track for its message, but also because of the era it’s pulling from. It seems it’s from the Indicud sessions and it was recorded during a rough period in his life. If you have heard that project, you’ll be able to pick up on the similarities quickly. Its classic Cudi and in the best way.

“The Moon Man Survives” – Kid Cudi

Quotable Lyrics:

No sleep, what you gonna do?
When the demons that haunt you come knock on your door
Hmm
Searching for smiles every day of the month
Misery needs a switch-er-up
On this quest, no clue just what I’m looking for

In the latest NFT news from Snoop Dogg, the rapping multihyphenate will appear on a series of NFT comic book covers. The Death Row records owner will grace five different covers of “Supercuzz,” a comic book series by crypto marketplace MakersPlace.

“Supercuzz” will see Snoop play the titular character—a superhero saving the day in the fictional “Angel City.”

“Snoop Dogg and BossLogic are two iconic forces in their respective crafts and are both pioneers in the NFT space,” said MakersPlace CEO Craig Palmer in a statement. “We’re honored to host the release of ‘Supercuzz’ collection on MakersPlace and give art enthusiasts accessibility in purchasing NFT’s from their favorite creators.”

Over the past year, Snoop has become a force in the realm of NFTs. Last year, he revealed himself to be the owner of @CozomoMedici, a popular NFT Twitter account. In February, he purchased Death Row Records, the former of the “Gin And Juice” rapper, Dr. Dre, and Tupac, and announced plans to turn it into an “NFT Label.”

Weeks after the announcement, fans noticed that some of the label’s iconic albums, including Snoop’s Doggystyle, and Dr. Dre’s The Chronic went missing from streaming services.

In addition to his recent NFT projects, Snoop also joined FaZe Clan as a member of the esports brand’s board of directors and talent. With this new partnership, he plans to launch a community outreach program.
