Jaden Smith feat. Kid Cudi — Higher Up

Kid Cudi had mentioned some months back that Jaden Smith, son of Will Smith, would appear on his forthcoming Indicud album. Today, Jaden lets loose this track from the two over Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s “Imagine”. I’ve already said my piece about Jaden appearing in movies, but when he’s rapping he sounds less excited than Heems from Das Racist. What is he really trying to do?
