Kid Cudi speaks on his short-film/video for “Maniac” with Cage and Shia Lebeouf, as well as the video for “Marijuana”, shot in Amsterdam, before he stopped smoking.

Kid Cudi returned to Twitter today as user “WizardCud”, and spoke on a variety of new projects. This summer he expects to release a rock project with Dot Da Genius called Wizard, which will feature “no raps, just singing”, produced entirely by Cudi and Dot, with both artists getting down on guitars. The track “Dose [cont.]

Aes Riggety performs at “Catacomb Kids” @ Zero Friends, while thinking of super steak nachos. Cage too.

Cage delivers this late addition from Depart With Me. Directed by Stephan Reedy, produced by Cage, Alex Pardee, and Megan Powers. Heh, this gets a little Jacob’s Ladder towards the end. And then it goes somewhere else entirely.

Cudder and Cage team with The Roots for this Late Night with Jimmy Fallon performance from Man on The Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager, dropping next week.

Now here comes a collab that makes total sense, and makes you wish for more. Taken from Man on The Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager. LISTEN: Kid Cudi – “Maniac” (feat. Cage)

Cage guest blogs over at Self-Titled Mag with a special “Movies For The Blind” edition, listing his favorite zombie movies of all time. Great list, but no Rec.? And what’s this we hear about a new album with some old friends?

These shirts will be available later this week via Shop Shogun, which portray Cage as a vampire. This is the first in a series of “monster” designs to come.

Kid Cudi posted the following statement on his blog last week, speaking on a collaboration between himself and Cage. I was hangin’ with the homie Cage in the studio yesterday, tweaking our record for MOTM2, and I remembered he had some ill ass pics he showed me from when he was on the set of [cont.]

In a statement released via Twitter, Cage stated that his next album would find him returning to the sound of his earlier roots. “(I’m) thinking of revisting each album. I think mixing too much shit was a problem with (Depart From Me). I don’t think a (Movies From The Blind) style would mix with a [cont.]

If you follow Cage’s back story, you might notice he’s been on a bit of an upswing. His last album via Def Jux was critically acclaimed and attracted fans as diverse as Shia LeBouf.  This may or may not be a bad thing, clearly LaBouf has the power to do anything he wants at the [cont.]

You gotta love the balloons.

Listening to Cage’s lyrics, many times he presents himself as someone most people wouldn’t like as a person. His first few albums presented him as a drug-addicted, ex-Bellevue patient obsessed with horror movies and misogyny. That all changed with the release of Hell’s Winter, the album where Cage “got better,” so-to-speak. Still an incredibly dark [cont.]

By Pizzo  So, the title of the album is “Hell’s Winter”, can you explain that a little bit? Basically, after Movies For The Blind, I just wanted to have another title like that – a kind of play on words. I had the title a few years before the album was made, when I [cont.]

       Cage can pretty much be looked at as the New York indy rap movement’s first born son. In the late nineties, just as the independent 12inch market began to take off, Cage was one of the early settlers, sticking his flag in the dirt with the classic “Agent Orange” 12inch single on Bobbito’s now [cont.]

     This isn’t the first time that either Cage or Tame One were paired up with another emcee to trade mics with (Smut Peddlers, Nighthawks, Artifacts), but surprisingly, this could actually be the most interesting of their respective collaborations yet.
