Kid Cudi‘s upcoming album, Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager, is getting ready for its late October release. The G.O.O.D. rapper’s sophomore album will include only a few features, as he told Spike TV.

“Man, when it comes to features, I kinda just stick to my homies,” he said. “My peoples Chip Tha Ripper, GLC [who is] a G.O.O.D. Music affiliate. Got my boy Cage  over there, and Mary J. Blige on the album. We got Cee-Lo on the album. It’s just really taking off where we last stopped.”

The album releases on Oct. 26.
