Kid Cudi is no longer pursuing a career in rap and is focusing on rock music instead. He formed a rock duo called WZRD with Dot da Genius. Their debut album explores Cudi's personal struggles with drug addiction and relationships through a rock-influenced sound. While some of the album's ideas were not fully realized, the musical experimentation provides an interesting artistic journey. Cudi has also contributed rock tracks to movie soundtracks and performed with WZRD on television to further pursue his new musical direction in rock.
