Ever since the Crookers remix of "Day 'n' Nite" took house parties by storm, KiD CuDi has been building up quite a bit of hype. In fact, it seems that all "unsigned, upcoming, hip-hop prodigy" blog coverage is split between CuDi, Drake, and Wale. Editor's Note: Theophilus London should be in that list, and he no doubt will be in the next few months, but more on him in a future post.
While this has been fairly warranted in each case, it leaves a hell of a lot of room for disappointment, especially for CuDi, who strikes me as the weakest of the three. However, unlike Jay-Z's Blueprint 3, the first leak from CuDi's forthcoming Man on the Moon: The End of Day isn't awful.
Titled "Pursuit of Happiness," the track is a slow burn and definitely not the most club ready. Maybe CuDi can call up on Crookers again to step up with another up-tempo remix? Regardless, the real draw is the production for Ratatat and, depending on your feelings toward them, guest vocals from MGMT.
MGMT's guest spot is vaguely present and Ratatat's beat is stereotypical 9 Beats fair, but the track nonetheless shows promise. Listen to it below and look for CuDi to perform the song with Ratatat as his backing band come September 11th on Letterman.
