Fast cars and punches might not sound like something that Kid Cudi’s music would gel with. However, the new Need For Speed film is met with some Cud that really hones in on speed, uncertainty, and dark journeys that brings Scotty’s abstract (as “Hero”) to Aaron Paul’s two-lane blacktop in the film. The song, with a penetrating bassline, catchy chorus, and a late addition from Eminem/Dr. Dre/Lupe Fiasco collaborator Skylar Grey, is very reminiscent of Kid’s 2008 breakthrough, and subsequent 2009 debut album.

Between Miguel’s recent jam for “Girls” and this, soundtracks are shaping up in 2014.
