Listening to Kid Cudi’s new album – Man on the Moon – has been a gift. At Handsome, we’re listening to it on the regular. It’s essentially eclipsed our Recently Added playlist. Coming across any interesting Kid Cudi knowledge is worth a read, so we thought we’d pass this Complex Interview with Emile, Cudi’s producer/manager, onto you.

It’ll give you some insight into Mr. Solo Dolo as well as what went on in the production of Man on the Moon and some of his previous mix tapes. Check the interview and see who’s working behind the scenes on tracks like Soundtrack 2 my Life (personal favourite), Solo Dolo and Cudi Zone.

Here’s a few Cudi tracks for a revisit:
