"This is for all my fans that have been ridin w me for so long," he shared in a separate tweet. "This will be all new music. The songs ive teased ill prolly put out as singles here and there to hold u over."
Others are also recognizing Cudi's importance. He's set to be honored with the Groundbreaker Award at the fifth annual Celebration of Black Cinema & Television awards show in L.A. Angela Bassett, Michael B. Jordan, and Berry Gordy are also honor recipients. The Cleveland native earns his award for his role as Jabari in his Netflix series Entergalactic.
