Insano is the tenth studio album by American rapper Kid Cudi, released on February 23, 2024 through Wicked Awesome and Republic Records. It was initially supposed to be a deluxe of his previous release titled Insano, before the songs became complete for an album itself, containing 18 tracks with guest features from the likes of Wiz Khalifa, Pusha T, and Lil Yachty. The production was handled by Cudi himself, among others such as Lil Yachty. It includes popular singles such as “Ill What I Bleed,” a single initially for Insano, and even older cuts such as “Dose of Dopeness” from earlier on in his career. After an initial release delay associated with label issues, the album critically wowed with its experimental edge and was set to include a world tour, but ultimately had to be postponed due to injury from Cudi himself.

Conclusion:

Cudi’s discography was emblematic of the changes he underwent as an artist, inspired by eclectic tastes in music; hence, he is an innovator within hip-hop. He started with Man on the Moon: The End of Day in 2009, showing his reflectively lyrical and different style, which went over well and was followed by a critically acclaimed Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager in 2010. Further albums like Indicud, 2013, and Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’, 2016, sealed his fate. Man on the Moon III: The Chosen released in 2020, was an epic return.
