Set for a release on January 30th, 2012, the 28th birthday of Kid Cudi, we are definitely curious to find out what the new album will sound like.

Complex sat down with KiD CuDi to talk about his upcoming studio album, “Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager”.

Drugs, fights, fatherhood, rapper beef, celebrity romances—it seems like everything in Kid Cudi’s personal life has been making headlines over the last year. But what about the music? Following up his stellar debut (which we named the No. 1 album of 2009), Cudder has been hard at work on Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager. While shooting him for our October/November 2010 cover story, we had a chance to sit down with Cudi and get him to break down the new album, which is scheduled to hit stores on November 9.”

Enjoy!
