Man on the Moon III follows its predecessor by more than a decade: The second installment in the trilogy, The Legend of Mr. Rager, came out in November 2010. The Cleveland rapper’s studio debut, Man on the Moon: The End of Day, was issued in September 2009.

Outside of his Man on the Moon trilogy, Kid Cudi has released WZRD in 2012, Indicud in 2013, Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon in 2014, Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven at the end of 2015, Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’ in 2016, and, most recently, the Kanye West collaboration Kids See Ghosts in 2018. Last year, Cudi teased a record called Entergalactic.

This year, Kid Cudi has joined Selena Gomez on her Rare track “A Sweeter Place.” He followed the guest spot with his Travis Scott team-up “THE SCOTTS,” the solo song “Leader of the Delinquents,” and a collaboration with Eminem titled “The Adventures of Moon Man & Slim Shady.” Also in 2020, Kid Cudi appeared in Luca Guadagnino’s series We Are Who We Are and the long-awaited Bill and Ted Face the Music.
