Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven is the fifth studio album by American musician Kid Cudi. The album was released on December 4, 2015, through Republic Records and Cudi's Wicked Awesome Records imprint. The album is a complete departure from his previous projects, excluding WZRD, a 2012 collaborative effort which was his first venture into rock music. Inspired by the 1990s indie music scene, Cudi included commissioned skits featuring Mike Judge voicing the titular characters of his '90s animated sitcom, Beavis and Butt-Head.
Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven, described by Cudi as alternative music,[2] is the follow-up to his 2014 digital release, Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon.[3][4] A double disc, the album includes 26 tracks in total; the album proper (Side A) contains 18, while Side B contains eight bonus tracks (mostly demos and outtakes). The album, primarily produced by Cudi himself, was supported by two official singles, "Confused!" and the title track "Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven".
In support of the album Kid Cudi embarked on a national concert tour, which he called "The Especial Tour". The album received mixed reviews from critics and charted at number 36 on the US Billboard 200, becoming Cudi's lowest-charting album to date.
