Indicud by Kid Cudi

Indicud is Kid Cudi's third studio album, released in April 2013 through GOOD Music, Republic and his own Wicked Awesome Records, and the first of his solo records to step outside the Man on the Moon series. Cudi ran the whole show: he produced nearly all of it himself, with Hit-Boy co-producing one track and WZRD partner Dot da Genius adding drums to two, and he served as executive producer and designed the cover too. He wanted something more upbeat and positive, and called it a whole new format for him.

The guest list is a wild mix, from Kendrick Lamar, RZA, ASAP Rocky and Too Short to Father John Misty, Haim and, yes, Michael Bolton. "Just What I Am", with King Chip, led the way among four singles and went platinum. Reviews were mixed, but it debuted at number two in the US on sales of 139,000, and it turned out to be his last album for GOOD Music.
