Indicud (stylized in

Wicked Awesome Records, and Republic Records
. It was the first album of Cudi's solo career to not be an installment of his Man on the Moon series. The album's cover artwork was designed by Kid Cudi himself, who also served as an executive producer of Indicud. It was Cudi's goal to make more uptempo and positive music with the album. He described it as a completely new format compared to his previous albums.

The album's record production was handled entirely by Cudi as well, with only record producer

Father John Misty, Michael Bolton and Haim
.

During the early release of Indicud, it was preceded by four singles – "

UK R&B Chart
. The album received mixed reviews from critics.

Background

After his

play-on-words on the putative species of the genus Cannabis, indica, and Cudi's own name.[5][6]

On June 8, 2012, Cudi announced Indicud, would be a double-disc album,[7] until tweeting on October 28, 2012 that "Indicud will not be a double disc but will contain a maximum of 17 brand new jams." Kid Cudi also tweeted: "The overall tone of indicud is positive and confident," adding: "The energy of Indicud is its own new thing. New format with some of my favorite musical tricks here and there. The album moves dope".[8]

Before the album's release, in December 2012, Cudi dedicated Indicud to the late

up-tempos is on remixes or some shit. So I just wanted to take the energy to the next level. That ultimately inspired the subject matter. It was a chain reaction. With the up-tempos came more positive lyrics. It just brightened up the whole shit."[11]

After announcing his departure from GOOD Music, Cudi revealed Indicud would be his last album under the label, adding that only the first 200,000 copies printed would have the GOOD Music logo on it; making them collector's items.[12]

Recording

It feels right. But now I'm just kinda going with the flow and that's kinda how Indicud came out. I didn't go in making an album, I just went in trying to learn how to make beats.. and I made "Just What I Am". And it was just like 'OK, dope record', but I didn't have the confidence to do an album yet. But then, like other jams came out, like "Unfuckwittable" and "Young Lady" and then it was just like 'Whoa, I could do an album here'. With just three songs, I felt like 'Okay, this is something that I could execute'. And I put it out there that I was gonna do the album with only just three songs man; but I work better under pressure.

— In an exclusive video interview with

Complex, in January 2013, Cudi spoke on the making of Indicud[1]

In April 2012, in Geneseo, New York, Cudi performed before a sold out crowd and premiered a hip hop song, his first since 2010. During his set, he performed a new record, tentatively titled "The Leader of the Delinquents", which he did a cappella.[13] On April 25, 2012 Cudi was officially back to rapping with the release of "Dennis, Hook Me Up with Some More of That Whiskey!".[14] The song, the first ever solely produced by Cudi himself, samples his 2010 song "Ghost!".[15] On July 10, 2012 via his Twitter feed, Cudi announced collaborations on the album thus far, as the album had not yet been completed, to be Pusha T, Jaden Smith and Kendrick Lamar, along with more familiar collaborators Kanye West, King Chip and Cage. He also revealed he was hoping to collaborate with 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Diplo and MGMT.[16] In September, he had also expressed interest in working with Harlem-bred rapper ASAP Rocky on Indicud.[17] On October 1, 2012 Cudi confirmed that production from electronic rock duo Ratatat, with whom he collaborated on "Pursuit of Happiness" and "Alive" from his debut album Man on the Moon: The End of Day (2009), would be featured on Indicud.[18]

On October 9 and 12, Cudi released pictures of him and Dot da Genius in the studio working on the album.[19][20] On November 6, 2012, Cudi made it known that he was in the studio that day working with fellow American rapper J. Cole.[17] On November 17, 2012, via his Twitter feed, Cudi announced the song he recorded with Kendrick Lamar was produced by himself and is titled "Solo Dolo, Part II".[21] He also stated his former GOOD Music label-mate Common would be featured on the album, on a song produced by Dot da Genius and Cudi's mentor 88-Keys.[22] On February 13, 2013, via Twitter, Cudi revealed he previewed the album to friend and fellow American actor, Mark Webber, and asked him to share his thoughts on the album, as a favor to the fans. During his barrage of tweets, Webber gave insight on the album, revealing Too Short and Wu-Tang Clan's RZA as features, as well as praising Cudi's production, rapping and singing.[23] Unlike his previous albums, Indicud is primarily produced by Cudi himself.[24]

“I definitely did [Indicud] with this angry, spiteful, villainous energy. I was able to make some really great records, but it was the most aggressive music I ever made”

— In a September 2014 interview with Joe Rogan, Cudi reminisced on the recording process of the album.[25]

In an interview with Billboard, released March 2013, Cudi confirmed he was working closely with ASAP Rocky, while also revealing Haim, an all-female indie rock band, would appear on the album on a song produced by high-profile American record producer Hit-Boy and himself. On April 2, 2013 Hit-Boy, claimed besides Cudi, he was the only other person to provide production on the album.[26] Cudi later confirmed the statement via Twitter.[27] Cudi and Hit-Boy had been working on the aforementioned song since January 2011. The track is also the first record the two of them ever worked on together.[28]

Production

"Yeah, they're fuckin' wicked. I love them. They came to the studio with dope energy. I'd work with them any day. They're so dope. We were able to do a jam with something me and Hit-Boy did. It's a song that we've been trying to make happen for, like, two years now. I had the idea to get the girls on it and we reworked the beat a little bit. That will definitely be on there. It's next level. Everything on this album is next level, man. It's totally, like, the coldest shit. People are going to be like, 'What are we doing wrong?' You've just got to bring the madness sometimes."

— Commenting on his studio session with Haim:[11]

In a April 2013 interview, Cudi told MTV News how his collaboration with "the '80s legend" Michael Bolton came about: "My mom is a huge fan so I grew up hearing him in the household and he did the song with The Lonely Island that I thought that was genius. I love those guys' work and seeing what they did with Michael they really used him, but I was like man I wanna use him in a way where I'm not tryna make a joke or anything – I just wanna use the mightiness of his voice in a way that's never been done before."[29] "I reached out," Cudi added, "he responded immediately and we were able to get him in the studio for like three hours and most of the time he spent talking and just dropping science. It was really cool to have his energy and just to be around him because he's such a legend, so down to earth and cool. He was like the uncle I never had."[29]

Cudi also incorporated quotes from his favorite movies into the album, wherever he saw fit. The first release with a movie quote was "Immortal", where Cudi sampled Adam Sandler in his 1995 film Billy Madison: "That’s one of my favorite movies, man. From my childhood, straight up. I love Adam Sandler. Throughout the album I wanted to include clips from some of my favorite movies to kind of narrate the album a bit and liven it up and give it some personality." He declared that throughout the album, people will hear scenes from several different movies:

"Yeah, different actors will pop up periodically. That’s how I felt when I finished the song. 'Oh my God. It's so good!' [Laughs] So there had to be a way that I could express myself. So I had to find some of my favorite quotes from my favorite movies. I put on Billy Madison and just watched that. There were so many lines that I picked that were great. But "I’m the smartest man alive!" resonated with me. And Adam Sandler is like a god to me. He's so amazing. I just wanted to pay homage through song and let him know, like, 'You’re the shit!'"[11]

With Indicud, on several tracks Cudi took a backseat in vocals to rather showcase his production skills. "The focus was on producing the record for Kendrick, I wanted to shine as a producer first. I wanted to show that side off more than anything else and that's why I had my one verse then let Kendrick go ape-sh-- crazy all over the rest of it." As for the A$AP Rocky feature on "Brothers," Cudi explained that he made the decision to go with a minimal hook and let the Harlem rapper dominate the track: "I felt like that was a perfect beat for A$AP to get on there and speak some truths and talk to the younger generation, because he's in a place where a lot of kids are up to him and Kendrick. I just wanted to hear him say something a little bit more thoughtful, and he did that — he showed up. I was blown away by his craftsmanship, his professionalism and his overall mojo."[30]

Release and promotion

On October 28, 2012, after previously announcing hopes of releasing the album in late 2012, Cudi changed the estimate release date from late 2012 to early 2013.

promotional single "King Wizard" was officially released, Cudi revealed the album would be released in March 2013.[33] On February 12, he announced the album's release date to be April 23, 2013.[34] After the album leaked online in its entirety on April 9, 2013, Kid Cudi decided to push the album's release date up to April 16.[35]

In early January, the album was named the ninth most anticipated album of 2013 by

Universal Republic, not supporting and promoting his music. After providing facts about singles "Just What I Am" and "King Wizard", defending their strong online presence and lamenting about not getting radio play, Cudi tweeted, "if things dont change soon, theres gonna be some problems."[38]

On March 14, 2013 Kid Cudi performed at Myspace's South by Southwest (SXSW) secret show in Austin, Texas and after performing his many hits, he previewed a new verse from Indicud. He also revealed that the album would feature 18 tracks, while officially confirming ASAP Rocky and Michael Bolton as featured guests.[39] On March 16, Cudi announced that he would release the album's track list and cover art on April 2.[40] Three days later, Kid Cudi announced via Twitter that the album had officially been completed and turned in to his label, Universal Republic.[41] On March 26, the album's cover art and track list was unveiled by Walmart and later Complex.[42] After the album cover's unveiling, Cudi took to Twitter to explain his decision for the artwork: "The album art represents me. A ball of flames in a rose gold frame."[43] The cover's art direction was handled by Cudi himself. In December 2013, it would be named the sixteenth best album cover of 2013 by Complex.[44] Later that day, Cudi appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and performed the album's lead singles; "Just What I Am" and "Immortal", as well as premiering "Mad Solar", which he performed a cappella.[45][46]

During late 2013, Kid Cudi toured in support of Indicud on The Cud Life Tour 2013. The tour was announced on July 15, with tickets going on sale the following day. Supporting acts on the tour include

Tyler, The Creator and Logic.[47] The tour took place in the United States beginning on August 22 and ran through October 18, 2013.[48]

Singles

On August 12, 2012 Kid Cudi released the lead single from Indicud, a song titled "Just What I Am", featuring his longtime collaborator and friend, rapper King Chip.[49] On October 2, 2012, "Just What I Am", was released to iTunes as the first single from the album.[50] The single's music video, which marked Cudi's directorial debut, was released November 6, 2012, via Kid Cudi's Vevo.[51] The song has since peaked at number 74 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[52]

On September 29, 2012, Cudi released a

mastered "King Wizard" as a free download. The download was available by heading to Samsung Mobile USA's Facebook page under the "music" tab. The explicit version and the music video were officially released via iTunes, on December 18, 2012 as the album's second single.[56][57]

On October 29, Cudi announced he would be releasing the album's second official single at the end of November.[58] On November 7, he revealed the upcoming single's title to be "Immortal", and that it again was produced by himself like the two previous releases, "Just What I Am" and "King Wizard". He claimed the song "will make you feel amazing in the heart and soul."[59] However, on November 30, he revealed "Immortal" would not be released until 2013. "Immortal" would be premiered on March 1, 2013 via SoundCloud.[60] The song was produced by Cudi, with the main sample being a track from one of his favorite bands MGMT's, "Congratulations". He reversed the song, sped it up, and produced over it.[61][62] The song was officially released via iTunes on March 14, 2013 as the album's third single.[63]

On April 2, 2013 Cudi released "Girls" for digital download via the iTunes Store, as the album's fourth single. The song features fellow American rapper Too Short, and was produced by Cudi.[64][65]

Indicud received mixed reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 58, based on 16 reviews.[67] Chris Dart of Exclaim! said, "It's also a smart, fun, eclectic record full of psychedelic influences and great, massive choruses."[70] Steve Jones of USA Today said, "Scott Mescudi handles the production of his third album, creating moody, surreal soundscapes to bolster rhymes that run the gamut of emotions. But whether he's feeling invincible or despondent, you get a true sense of where his head's at."[76] David Jeffries of AllMusic stated, "It's an entertaining, vibrant, and artistically filling album, so consider it a "presents" effort and enjoy the show."[68] Mosi Reeves of Spin said, "None of the guest actors here distract from Cudi's signature self-mythologizing and inner turmoil. And most of the time, it's his inner turmoil that beckons you in, rather than merely pushing you out."[75] Dan Buyanovsky of XXL stated, "As a whole, Cudi’s version of 2001 is an original and bold project [...] This ambitious project does not fall flat, and credit is due to Cudi for continuing to challenge himself post-WZRD, taking on a new skill-set and concept rather than throwing together a collection of identically moody anthems."[77]

Evan Rytlewski of

Consequence of Sound stated, "It's ass-backwards to make other people look the best on your solo album. Still, that might demonstrate the path of Kid Cudi isn't about being a rapper, a singer, or something in between. The point is, this record just proves that Kid Cudi has a lot of sorting to do, and continuing down the same old path simply won’t cut it in the long-run."[78] Joe Gross of Rolling Stone said, "Someday this Cleveland MC/producer/former weed enthusiast will find the lyrical and vocal charisma to match the scrumptiously dark, quasi-industrial tenor of his moody beats. But Cudi’s pitchy-dawg voice remains his own worst enemy."[74]

Accolades

Closing out the year, the album was named to multiple album of the year lists.

The Source ranked it at number 23 on their list, saying "it delivered, sonically and conceptually. The album was an honest representation of the maturation of Cudi’s space age sound and middle finger to the world attitude."[82]

Commercial performance

In its first week of release Indicud debuted at number two on the

gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over 500,000 units in the United States.[87]

The album also earned a level of commercial success internationally. In Canada it peaked at number three on the Canadian Albums Chart and peaked at number 32 on the UK Albums Chart.[88][89] It also peaked at number 23 in Australia, number 32 in Denmark and number 33 in New Zealand.[90][91][92] Indicud also charted on the main albums chart in Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland and Ireland.[93]
