Kid Cudi Spoke with Billboard about depression, music process, and more
Kid Cudi, one of our most beloved artist in the industry, and that opinion is based off his contributions to music. Over the pass eight years, the Moon Man had been “living a nightmare” that only he could of gotten himself out of. Choosing to be happy this year, Cudi has made significant strides in getting his mental health and drug issues to dimmer light, putting a stop to it all. In a recent interview with Billboard, Cudi spoke on his demons and how he fought through them.
“I really came out of that drug shit. People don’t know how real it was. I used drugs to try to fix my depression,” Cudi said. “But I hadn’t been living that reality, because depression was f***ing me up. So this year I chose to be happy. I just woke up.”
Waking up out of nightmare, Cudi awoke to a beautiful morning with Kanye West. With his hands stretched, the two talked over some things before getting into the recording process. If you remember, Cudi left Ye’s G.O.O.D. Music label in 2013.
“Me and Kanye are brothers. With family, there’s always going to be issues and shit. That was the first time I had been around him and his team in a while. In order to get back into the creative process, we had to talk,” Cudi said.
Cudi’s contributions on “Waves” and “Father Stretch My Hands Pt.1” are some of listeners favorites.
“Kanye had been working on [The Life of Pablo] album for a while. And as you can see, it’s still changing. [Waves] wasn’t even going to make it.”
