Since the 2008 opus, many a new artist joined the mission of providing an antithesis to the protected ego by bravado approach that the rapper was founded on. From Drake to Frank Ocean to even, Jay-Z, hip-hop artists saw the benefit of baring their souls to an audience of mostly carnivores. We have Cudi and West to thank for this. After a decade since their initial collab, the once-estranged friends and label mates have reconciled and reunited for a new EP, Kids See Ghosts, to remind the world that during a time when mental health is a prime conversation, emotional rap is needed more than ever.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0seven-song opus intends to be cathartic and therapeutic for artists and listeners. Cudi, who has always done a stellar job of articulating his personal angst and depression as well as America&#8217;s Internet youth, is at the top of his game. Music aside, he&#8217;s managed the whale of a feat in getting Kanye to humble himself in order to help treat himself. With Kanye&#8217;s stock plummeting in 2018, there was no better time for him to reveal his ailments and exorcize his demons publicly. Ye&#8217; has his former (and most colorful) artist to thank for that. America can gain so much from this album.<\/p>\n<p>For more on Kanye and Kid Cudi&#8217;s latest album, read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/on-kids-see-ghosts-kanye-west-and-kid-cudi-bare-their-scars-to-the-world?ref=scroll\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Stories for the soul in search <a href=\"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/death-abs-smoothies\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since Kid Cudi and Kanye collaborated on Ye&#8217;s courageous 808&#8217;s &amp; Heartbreaks album, the two have given Emo Rap\u2013hip-hop music whose musical and lyrical agenda is the convey of vulnerable emotions\u2013its own corner office within the culture.
