Hot damn this is good! I've always wanted to say that, but since I don't go to many (any) Southern hog roasts, I've never had the chance. Well, wish fulfilled I guess.
I think Dot Da Genius is my latest favouritest producer - this is like ambient soul. Have you ever heard someone doing a peak flow reading being used as a syncopated beat? No? Now you have. And it's catchy too. This kid is seriously good.
The vocal by Kid Cudi's pretty hot too - better than your usual swagger-rap (Kanye should be quaking in his boots).

Kid Cudi - Day 'N' Night
I know this is old and fairly ubiquitous, but I like it. That bleepy bassline and the tetchy snare are gorgeous, I like that techno-hop sound. The instrumental was produced by Dot Da Genius, a relative unknown - probably one to watch.
Kid Cudi isn't the world's most exciting rapper (not much flow or technical sparkle), but he's a pretty stand-out songwriter: this track is so atmospheric. The Crookers remix that made it big has none of that. Their loss.
