Kid Cudi is taking a trip back in time.
Before he embarks on the Entergalactic era, the Cleveland rapper is revisiting the past with a greatest hits project, The Boy Who Flew to the Moon, Vol. 1.
The 18-track compilation includes standouts from eight of his albums, starting with his debut Man on the Moon: The End of Day, including “Day ‘N’ Nite” and “Pursuit of Happiness,” as well as two tracks off Man on the Moon II, “Ghost!” and “Mr. Rager.”
Additionally, the tracklist includes 2012’s WZRD album with Dot Da Genius, 2013’s Indicud, 2014’s Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon, 2015’s Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven, 2016’s Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’, and 2020’s Man on the Moon III: The Chosen. It caps off with the bonus track “love.”
The Boy Who Flew to the Moon, Vol. 1 arrives Friday, July 8. A week later, Cudi will release his 2008 debut mixtape A Kid Named Cudi on streaming services for the first time.
Last month, Cudi dropped his single “Do What I Want” off his upcoming album Entergalactic, the companion to his Netflix series, which both arrive Sept. 30. He is also set to embark on his “To the Moon” world tour across North America, Asia, and Europe, starting Aug. 16 in Vancouver.
