'REVOFEV,' pronounced "rev of ev," as in, revolution of evolution, is the first single from Brooklyn-based rapper Kid Cudi's upcoming album, 'Man On the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager.' Got all that?

Stabbing bursts of piano, infectious "whoa-oh-oh-ooooohh" chants and duck-call electric guitars punch up the song's reggae-influenced drumbeat, as Cudi speak-sings his prophecies for a bright future: "Let go life does get tough / No need to stress / Hold you back too much / Let's go I heard they found the solution / Where you be for the revolution?"

In a recent interview with hiphopdx.com, Cudi stated that the new album: "is dark by nature, and instead of bringing you into my dreams like my first album [2009's 'Man on the Moon: the End of Day'], I'm bringing you into my reality, good and bad. It will explain more of who I am as well as pushing the envelope musically."

'Man on the Moon II' is due in stores on Sept. 14. Until then...

See all i wanna do is be RELEVANT, Just tell me that i ever meant anything MORE, That you could ever see me and you in another light, But its like the dark women indoors in the darkest nights by the wrong man, mostly all of them have made you incapable of a first IMPRESSION, what it do is i channel my aggression with no cable or antenna, Just intentions to impress you. If capable. Hoping that the material possessions can materialise to a BETTER you, Cars, nothing i drive can drive you out of this state of mind, For such an ugly picture and, MONEY, nothing i buy can buy more time for your ears to tell your heart to listen to it, DIAMONDS, a girls best friend is what they say but believe me with the right allegience shorty you gonna SHINE anyways, and everyday that goes by is a couple more lines in her diary, the day before is better than the present, so anyone presented in his presence is doing these life sentences, theres no key for release, no reason to be around, her mind in the clouds, she writes it all down, in her diary.
