Kid Cudi has responded to a fan’s observation in a way that might lead to new music with one of today’s elite producers, The Alchemist.
On Friday (November 10), Cudi replied to a post on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter. The user wrote: “boom bap Cudi >>>,” referencing his Man on the Moon 2 track “The End.”

The Cleveland native really took the message to heart, replying: “Wheres @Alchemist when u need him man!!! Lets do a album FUCK.”
The producer saw and responded to the message just hours later, writing: “long overdue! They dont know we go back! im getting your # from [Jason] Goldwatch asap.”
You can see the messages below.
The Alchemist’s note about going back with Kid Cudi is more right-on than many fans of both artists might realize. The two collaborated on The Alchemist’s 2008 song “Therapy,” which also featured Blu, Evidence and — on some, though not all versions of the song — Talib Kweli.
Jason Goldwatch is a director who has links with both artists. He has worked with Cudi for over a decade, including on the recent video for “ILL WHAT I BLEED.”

Goldwatch likewise has a long-running creative partnership with The Alchemist. They even made a short film together, 2021’s Cycles.
The Alchemist has made a string of collaborative projects with artists like Freddie Gibbs, Prodigy, Action Bronson, Curren$y, Larry June and Boldy James, among others.
Last month, his Voir Dire album with Earl Sweatshirt arrived on streaming services.
Voir Dire was initially released as an NFT via Gala Music in August. Only 1,000 copies were made available at the time.

The duo are currently on tour to promote the project. Joining them on their run are Black Noi$e and MIKE (who also appeared on their album).
Kid Cudi is no stranger to full-length collaborations either having released joint projects with Kanye West (2018’s Kids See Ghosts) and Dot Da Genius (2012’s WZRD).
