GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-platinum sonic visionary, artist, producer, actor, and director Kid Cudi shares “Don’t Worry” featuring Chip Tha Ripper on all streaming platforms.
Listen HERE. Watch the music video on YouTube HERE.
The self-proclaimed “ode to New York” sees Cudi lean into the sonic stylings he originated during his time in the city. His airtight flow and unpredictable cadence drive the track towards a hypnotic hook, while old friend and longtime collaborator Chip Tha Ripper pulls up with an incendiary verse of his own. In the visual, they take over NYC together.
The release accompanies issue #4 of his comic book series Moon Man and will be unveiling the accompanying Kid Cudi Presents The Soundtrack of Moon Man very soon.
In other big news, “Day ‘N’ Nite (nightmare)” just received a rare RIAA Diamond certification, enshrining his groundbreaking debut Man on the Moon: The End of Day as “the first 2000s hip-hop album to earn multiple RIAA Diamond singles.” The record also houses the Diamond-certified “Pursuit of Happiness (nightmare).”
Earlier this year, he uncovered INSANO (NITRO MEGA), which magnified the world of his 2024 ninth studio album, INSANO, with 18 brand new tracks. It included a likeminded cohort of talent, namely Wiz Khalifa, Lil Yachty, Bone Thugs & Harmony, Chip The Ripper, and more. Thus far, INSANO has piled up tens of millions of streams and earned critical acclaim. Glide Magazine raved, “These 21 tracks make up a cosmic journey through the many faces of Cudi’s creativity, an unapologetic victory lap for an innovative voice with very little to prove to anyone except himself,” and FAULT professed, “Cudi has once again shattered expectations.” CLASH put it best, “INSANO can be riveting.”
As always, his world keeps evolving and expanding across artistic mediums and culture…

And he’d have these little cassettes that he would just play. ‘Hey, guys, what do you think of this?’ And he did play. And he’d just play snippets of these songs. And we’d either give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. And a lot of those songs were and weren’t used in the soundtracks for his sampling he took of young people.”

Lifevine’s Sauvignon Blanc is perfect for summer! If you love wine but are also paying attention to your sugar intake, Lifevine is a delicious wine brand with ZERO SUGAR.
This Sauvignon Blanc exhibits sweet Jasmine floral aromas with hints of mandarin, key lime, green melon, and dry herbal notes. Enjoy well-chilled paired with salads, shellfish, or perhaps a simple glass on the porch. Made with zero sugar, this wine is the perfect choice for those seeking a more mindful and guilt-free indulgence. With an alcohol content of 13.1%, it’s the perfect accompaniment to any occasion. Order now and discover the perfect balance of purity and flavor in every sip!
According to The International Food Information Council’s 2023 Food & Health survey, 72% of consumers are recognizing sugar’s impact on their health and looking to curtail their consumption. That’s not a straightforward task with sugar often hidden in every day foods we don’t suspect and even our beloved glass of wine! Unlike the majority of leading wine brands, which typically have 4 – 6 grams and sometimes up to 15+ grams per five-oz, Lifevine has ZERO SUGAR.
Winemakers in the U.S. aren’t required to put nutrition facts on their labels, so the truth is easy to miss. Lifevine is one of the first commercial wineries to proudly list both serving facts and ingredients on every bottle, providing consumers with the transparency they deserve.
