2016 is going to be big for Kid Cudi. Back in June, the 32-year-old announced he would drop not one, but two albums before the year’s end. The first of which, Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’, would be delivered sometime in the summer, while the second would come in the fall. And though very little details are known about either project, including the title of the fall album, Cudi tweeted that both are finished, using a photo of Usain Bolt blasting pass the competition as confirmation.

This is major news for Cudi fans, who’ve been patiently awaiting for an official body of work from the multi-hyphenate. Earlier this year, he revealed that Travi$ Scott and Pharrell Williams would be featured in Passion, Pain, & Demon Slayin’, and that his longtime producer Dot Da Genius would be involved. He's also put out a few new songs this year, including "The Frequency,""All In," and "Goodbye."

Cudi later shared a little more about the projects, thanking his fans for supporting him and promising that release dates and more info were on the way soon.

A$AP Rocky also shouted him out on Twitter, saying that he loved Cudi's Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven.

Now that we know the albums are finally complete, it shouldn’t be much longer until we get a release date. Stay tuned.
