Kid Cudi – Man On The Moon III: The Chosen – Compact Disc
This is the EDITED version from Walmart
Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon III: The Chosen is his seventh studio album, released on December 11, 2020 via Republic Records. It serves as the long-awaited third installment in his Man on the Moon trilogy, following Man on the Moon: The End of Day (2009) and Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager (2010). Positioned as a return to the conceptual framework that defined his early career, the album revisits the “Chosen” persona while updating the sound for a new era of hip-hop.
Structurally, the album is divided into four acts, continuing Cudi’s tradition of framing projects in narrative chapters. Thematically, it explores inner conflict, fame, temptation, resilience, and growth—core topics throughout his catalog. While the earlier Man on the Moon albums leaned heavily into alternative rap and psychedelic introspection, this installment incorporates more contemporary trap production alongside Cudi’s signature melodic humming and atmospheric textures.
Production contributions come from Plain Pat, Emile Haynie, Mike Dean, Dot da Genius, Take a Daytrip, and others, blending moody synths, heavy 808s, and layered vocals. The sonic direction feels darker and more aggressive in places than his earlier work, with tracks like “Tequila Shots” and “She Knows This” leaning into modern rap energy, while songs such as “Solo Dolo, Pt. III” and “The Void” reconnect with his introspective, emotionally open style.
Guest appearances include Pop Smoke, Skepta, Phoebe Bridgers, and Trippie Redd, offering stylistic contrast without overshadowing Cudi’s presence. “Show Out,” featuring Pop Smoke and Skepta, became one of the album’s more high-profile tracks due to its drill influence and cross-Atlantic collaboration.
The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and performed strongly on streaming platforms. In Cudi’s discography, Man on the Moon III functions as both sequel and reaffirmation—bridging the emotional vulnerability that made him influential in the late 2000s with the production trends of the 2020s. It reinforces his role as a foundational figure in melodic and introspective rap while adapting his sound to contemporary hip-hop landscapes.
