Kid Cudi drops 'Grave' ahead of forthcoming album 'Free'

Kid Cudi continues to build momentum toward his next chapter with the release of his latest single, 'Grave'. Serving as the second official release from his highly anticipated album 'Free', due August 22nd, the track sees the genre-bending creative dig deeper into his sonic universe.

Accompanied by a gripping music video directed by legendary filmmaker Samuel Bayer, known for iconic visuals like Nirvana’s 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', 'Grave' adds a new layer to the creative rollout of 'Free'. Bayer’s touch adds a haunting, cinematic dimension to the track, marrying gritty rock influence with Cudi’s introspective lyricism.

Earlier this year, Cudi re-emerged with 'Neverland', a triumphant return that included a short film premiere at Tribeca Film Festival. Between those visuals and 'Grave', it’s clear that the new album is shaping up to be a multidisciplinary experience.

With 'Free', Kid Cudi is once again pushing the envelope, operating at the intersection of music, film, and fashion. As one of the culture’s most innovative forces, 'Grave' is just another reminder that he’s not done rewriting the rules.
