With two Grammys and over 10 million Facebook followersKid Cudi is showing no signs of slowing down.

The album features cameos by Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, RZA, Too Short, Haim, and Michael Bolton.

Tyler, the Creator got his first taste of fame when The Los Angeles Times ran a “teen on the street”-type story on the then 16-year-old skateboarding enthusiast, who was also interested in music and fashion. In 2007 he began making music with Odd Future‘s core members — Earl Sweatshirt,Left Brain, and Hodgy Beats — and by the summer of 2010 their bizarre, surreal, and filthy material had earned them a loyal following. It was during that year that a video Tylerdirected for the Odd Future track “French” took off, topping a million views by December and drawing attention to the slew of crew-related mixtapes that followed, including Tyler‘s own, Bastard. He was also signed to the XL label in 2010 for a one-album deal. When Tyler‘s XL album Goblin arrived in 2011, it became the first Odd Future-related product to be released through the usual music industry channels.Wolf followed in 2013, with Left Brain and Frank Ocean returning as guests.

Logic is an American rapper. He was born and raised in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He has amassed a large internet following and is a member of the RattPack, his group of friends that he works with. Logic has released four official mixtapes, with the most recent being the critically acclaimed Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever. He is currently signed with Visionary Music Group and Def Jam Recordings.
