Kid Cudi – Day N Night (Arsenal Live Rock Mix)
It’s no surprise that Kid Cudi’s “Day N Night” has spawned a bazillion remixes, given that it’s the biggest stoner anthem of the last 5 years. This here Arsenal’s live rock mix ranks among the best. I like the way it builds up gradually and picks up its tempo midway, which seems like what the song should’ve done in the first place. [The Arsenal]

Kid Cudi – “Switchin’ Lanes”
“Switchin’ Lanes” is dope, but it’s no “Maui Wowie.” Still, watching this Cudi kid evolve as an MC has been rewarding so far.

The video is kinda shaky, but the song is well worth every blurry line.

The original “Day N’ Nite” is one of my favorite songs of ‘08. Original > Crookers Mix

UPDATE: Sorry, guys, Kid Cudi pulled the video.

I’ve been listening to this all morning and it’s exactly what you’ve come to expect from Kid Cudi: an authentic, deeply-enjoyable collection of songs. He reminds me of Wale in more ways than one. And I mean that as a compliment.

Enjoy.
