...Cudi, the stage name for three-time Grammy nominee Scott R.S. Mescudi, is best known for his song “Day ‘n’ Nite,” which appeared first as a digital download and then on his 2009 debut album “Man on the Moon...
...second single “Chinese Whispers” shows, they’ve become quite adept at integrating melody into mathcore. Throughout the track, TDEP use mellow breaks to release the tension built up during their aggressive sections.

The sinuous melodies and the soulful, moaning lyrics of Songz’s chorus and verse make the song as sexy as it aspires to be, while Ludacris?...
