Kid Cudi’s Wild ‘INSANO’ Album Features Travis Scott, Pharrell, XXXTentacion, Lil Wayne & More

Kid Cudi has unveiled the full tracklisting for his fast-impending ninth studio album, INSANO – which very well may be his last – featuring an absolutely stacked list of guest stars.

The effort spans a mighty 21 songs, making it his longest studio album by three tracks (the runner-up being 2016’s Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’). According to the listing Cudi himself shared on social media, eight of those tracks will feature guest spots from some of the rapper’s most revered peers.

For starters, the album opens with a track assisted by DJ Drama called OFTEN, I HAVE THESE DREAMZ. Travis Scott then makes a cameo on track three (GET OFF ME), followed by A$AP Rocky on track five (WOW). Then, after an unbroken three-song streak of solo Cudi cuts, we’ll hear a verse from Lil Yachty on track nine (TOO DAMN HIGH), and another appearance from Travis Scott – this time joined by Pharrell Williams – on the album’s most recent single, AT THE PARTY (which is track 11 on the LP).

We get another three solo tracks after that, before getting an unexpected one-two punch with the songs X & CUD (track 15) and SEVEN (16). The former, as its title hints, sees Cudi working with a posthumous verse from the late XXXTentacion, who died at age 20 in 2018; the latter, on the other hand, features Lil Wayne. And last but not least, track 18 – RAGER BOYZ – features a guest spot from the one and only Young Thug.

Scroll on to see the full tracklist for INSANO, due out this Friday (January 12) via Republic and Cudi’s own label imprint, Wicked Awesome.

With the release of INSANO, Cudi will have completed his contractual obligations with Republic Records, thus making him an independent artist for the first time in nearly two decades. There’s a chance it could be his final album, too, having hinted in 2022 that he’s “nearing the end” of his music career and plans to explore other creative avenues.

Last March, he hyped INSANO up as the definitive Kid Cudi album, telling fans, “I've never made a project this powerful before in my life. And you know, sitting and listening to these mixes, I just know that this shit is going to move you. Y'all are going to fuck with this shit in such a major way, and I'm so fuckin' excited. I just want to get on here and let y'all know that I'm not gonna let y'all down. This is gonna be the album of the year right now. I'm not playing, this is not a fuckin' joke. Tell everybody you fuckin' know.”

A few months later, in an Instagram Live stream that’s since been archived, he vouched that INSANO was “probably the first album [Cudi has] ever made where [he’s] been truly, 100 percent happy”.
