'REVOFEV,' pronounced "rev of ev," as in, revolution of evolution, is the first single from Brooklyn-based rapper Kid Cudi's upcoming album, 'Man On the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager.' Got all that? Stabbing bursts of piano, infectious "whoa-oh-oh-ooooohh" chants and duck-call electric guitars punch up the song's reggae-influenced drumbeat, as Cudi speak-sings his prophecies for a bright future: "Let go life does get tough / No need to stress / Hold you back too much / Let's go I heard they found the solution / Where you be for the revolution?"
In a recent interview with hiphopdx.com, Cudi stated that the new album "is dark by nature, and instead of bringing you into my dreams like my first album [2009's 'Man on the Moon: the End of Day'], I'm bringing you into my reality, good and bad. It will explain more of who I am as well as pushing the envelope musically."
'Man on the Moon II' is due in stores on Sept. 14. Until then, you can check out 'REVOFEV' on AOL Radio's New Hip-Hop First station.
