Earlier this summer, Kid Cudi announced that his ninth studio album INSANO would be released on September 15. However, now less than two weeks away from the intended arrival date, Cudi has pushed the album back several months.

“Hey fam!! Got some updates for y’all,” Cudi wrote in a note on Twitter Monday (September 4). “Some bad news, some good. I have to push INSANO back til January. I want to make sure that everything lines up and I give v’all the best version of myself. This album is amazing and I want to make sure I present it in the best way for v’all.”
However, to assist in letting his fans down easily, Cudi decided to share a sneak peek of INSANO via SoundCloud. Uploading two songs from the LP’s eventual track list to the platform, titled “MOST AIN’T DENNIS” and “ILL WHAT I BLEED,” Cudi made sure he didn’t leave his “fam” hanging.
“Thats the bad news,” he continued in his memo. “I still plan on releasing the next single soon so dont even worry about that. The good news is, since [I’m] doin’ this and I know you all are [fiending] to get a listen of the album, [I’m] releasing 2 new jams from INSANO [tonight] on Soundcloud. Just for you. (And I promise I wont take them down ) These songs are some of my favorites on the album and I really think you’ll dig em. Im sorry for the delay everybody but [I’m] a perfectionist. And things gotta be right. I love vall!!! Enjoy!”

In early June, Cudi put out the first lead single for INSANO titled “Porsche Topless,” produced by burgeoning trap-rap producer BNYX, best known for crafting hits like Travis Scott, Bad Bunny, and The Weeknd’s “K-POP” and Drake’s “Search & Rescue.”
As fans now have to sit tight for another half-year to receive INSANO, Cudi will continue to find ways to satisfy them, according to a subsequent tweet on Monday.
“Fuck it. Releasing some more magic over the next few months as the year comes to an end, [with] the final lil’ tease releasing on xmas,” he said. “Y’all got me geeked i have so many songs on this project why not let [you] hear this shit. Im confident and excited. LETS FUCKIN GO.”
