DotDaGenius Talked 2020 Collabration Between Eminem and Kid Cudi
DotDaGenius, longtime producer of Kid Cudi, talked about the impromptu process behind Kid Cudi ‘s collaboration with Eminem in 2020.
DotDaGenius took to Instagram on Friday, February 25. He made a beat breakdown video detailing the creative process behind “The Adventures Of Moon Man & Slim Shady”. The Brooklyn-born producer revealed that Kid Cudi produced instrumentals for the record years ago.
“I made that beat in 2017,” DotDaGenius started off. “Fast forward to 2020, the year of the pandemic, Cudi always had it and started writing to it. We went to the studio, cut it — it sounded crazy.”
“Then he said he wanted to get Eminem on it and I was like, ‘Okay, yes,’” he said. “Before he did that, though, I had the beat in a good place but I had my homie, Jay Graham, to come through and some much-needed sounds for dynamics. He’s really good with that.”
The Adventures of Moon Man & Slim Shady (@KidCudi x @Eminem) was a collaboration that many thought would never happen.
This unexpected track was produced by @DotDaGenius and @jgramm. In this video, Dot breaks down the production for the Cudi & Eminem song. 🎹

“I remember Cudi hit Eminem up, he loved the record,” he said. “I remember when he [Eminem] sent it back, it couldn’t have been more for the time. Because we had just lost George Floyd and Eminem made a good choice to address it on that record.”

“It’s just a hard record, I’m really proud of it,” Dot said. “Cudi snapped — whenever Cudi gets in his God-ton rap voice, watch out.”
Kid Cudi And Nigo Team Up
Amid his bad exchanges with Kanye West, Kid Cudi has revealed he’s back in music. The Cleveland rapper began working with Japanese culture and fashion icon Nigo on their futuristic music “Want It Bad“, which Pharrell produced.
“I want it so bad, yes / I finally went up and up / I can’t stop, I can’t eat enough,” Cudi says through a vocoder.
“Want It Bad” follows “Arya” with A$AP Rocky, which are both set to appear on Nigo’s upcoming album I Know Nigo , his first musical body of work in nearly two decades, set for release on March 25.
