Pursuit of Happiness, Kid Cudi


This week's song comes off of Kid Cudi's second studio album, "Man on the Moon: The End of Day" featuring cameos from both MGMT and Ratatat. With the enormous popularity of his single "Day 'N' Nite", Cudi has gone from unknown to household name in just a few short years.

If you've never heard any Kid Cudi, you can find this week's song here thanks to YouTube.

Publicly promoting the use of marijuana and recently featured in High Times magazine, this rap artist has become somewhat of a modern day Willie Nelson. His new song and smoking anthem "Pursuit of Happiness" seems to be an ode to his nightly pursuit of getting... happy.

This week's recording features both the guitar playing and vocals of my good friend David Daniels, without whom I could not have gotten this song done. Take a minute to check out his site, it's definitely worth your time.

-Look out for next weeks song.

  1. Hey Brandon great choice for this weeks blog. I was just introduced to Kid Cudi a couple of weeks ago and now im hooked. This song is acticually the first one I bought off his new album. It sounds great considering that most of his songs are done electronically in studios. The fact that that you just wrote a paper on how DJ's are the new musical trend, and then you just remasterd his song on a gituar. that takes some skill my friend.

    Keep puttin out the music.
