On Wednesday, award-winning multi-platinum sonic visionary, artist, producer, actor and director Kid Cudi shared “Don’t Worry” featuring Chip Tha Ripper.
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…
Stay tuned for more from Kid Cudi.
