Kid Cudi: Insano review – plenty of company, not enough hits
The rapper’s ninth and possibly last LP features everyone from Pharrell to A$AP Rocky, but only fitfully hits the sweet spot
Coming to prominence in 2009 with the psychedelic hip-hop of Day’n’Nite, since 2022 he has starred in and produced films and TV shows including the Mia Goth slasher X and animation Entergalactic. Among the starry features, A$AP Rocky delivers an entertaining turn on the mid-tempo bass groove of Wow, while Young Thug drawls artfully over the downbeat melodies of Rager Boyz. Pharrell and the late XXXTentacion produce monotonous and grating vocal hooks, while several iterations of trap bass blend tracks such as Keep Bouncin’, A Tale of a Knight and Cud Life into one.
