More than a year after its official release, the sung-rapped ode to stoned alienation that was Kid CuDi‘s debut single sits at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, and is approaching number one at rhythm radio (now’s the time to make those requests!). Since the original version of Day ‘N’ Nite was never featured (in accordance with the artist’s then-label home’s wishes), this new unofficial remix marks the record’s first appearance in the Booth. After CuDi’s opening verse, recent Block Entertainment signee Kollosus jumps on board to give his own take on the sleeper hit—though his first verse sticks close to the original’s bleary-eyed blueprint, this revamp’s high point comes later, when the 21-year-old emcee reaches back to his Kingston roots to blaze Dot Da Genius’ pensive, synth-driven instrumental in true Caribbean style. Watch for CuDi’s debut studio album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day, to hit record stores and online retailers late this summer, and stay tuned to the Booth for more on Kollosus as his career develops.

This is cool but I think I like the Jim Jones remix better...

There are so many remixes to this track, but this was pretty tight. The Jim Jones remix was horrible; the Pitbull one was my favorite. That Caribbean feel works pretty well on the track, so its in rotation. Speaking of, how much longer will this old track be in rotation? Haha its tight so I dont mind.

I liked the original and this was cool too. Kollosus was decent, but he should have got Kanye to spit some bars on this beat. The original was in my rotation for a while (not so much anymore) and there wasn't enough new and appealing on the remix to have it put back in my rotation. 2.5, I know it's kinda harsh.

So looking forward to Kid Cudi's album. That's #2 on my anticipation list behind Drake's "THANK ME LATER".
I agree...it's so many remixes. Mines should been featured on here...lol: Young Son "Day 'N' Nite (Remix): http://www.zshare.net/audio/52693603573a25fd/ This version was dope though. The third verse style was creative and different. |

The OG is MATCHLESS so no questions which one i prefer... but Kollosus actually impressed me a little more than I thought ... but on a second thought i should have never doubted it since booth picked it ...
My rating purely reflects the Remix/Kolossus part ... |

Cudi is a left of center artist, so who better to jump on the record than an artist whose sound is not the norm. I love the second Kollosus verse.

This alright kind of late for a remix but this song is killing the radios. Not much to say about Kollosus he sounds interesting he's solid. If you guys arent really feeling this one look up the Day N Nite remix featuring Fashawn its pretty dope!

This is a smash by itself, so to add someone I've never heard of and say that he is improvin it some how, is @onna be difficult. His verses were @ood. I do like another version of this track feat collie budds. His was crazy too.

@Z1GGY - I also wondered that same thing. I've been hearing this song for a while, and the remix(es) is/are tight. Love it. Simple yet fire in the production, and Cudi can rip lyrics TO SHREDS. Don't believe me, check out She Came Along by Sharam ft. Cudi. Absolutely amazing!!! He's rising in terms of my respect for him, especilly after tht track. And this one definitely bcks that respect up.
Whoa! Nice production change. :) Love it. Banger. |

My radio station (KUBE93 Seattle/Tacoma) plays this song over and over and over and over and over and over and after a while you just don't want to hear it anymore. HOWEVER, i will pretend for a minute that this is my first time listening to it. BTW: it's a good remix.

Like MH, I can't wait until CuDi's-and Drake's-debut(s). '09 is a great year for new artists, what with the bloggers takeover, labels searching high and low for talent, and the presses, magazines, etc, all on the look out (see: Freshmen cover).
It'd take a horrible artist to ruin this, and Kollosus proves he's not that. Flip at the end, I dig. |

I LOVE this song! Didn't they already make a remix with Jim Jones? But I heard this song about 15 million times on NBA Live 09 and it will never get old to me.

Collie Buddz had the best remix of this track. Though the Crookers techno remix has been doing a lot of damage down here.
I always wondered why the original was never featured on the front page |

Like Royalty and Aussie said, they keep playin the original and its startin to annoy me. Kollosus has been someone i've been interested in since i heard zoe's What it is. His verses on here are tight. I like this better than the original. Banger

Tried to avoid jumping on the Cudi bandwagon, but couldn't. This song is very refreshing and original and I think my favorite part about it is how crisp and laid back his vocals are. Kollosus's verse starts out slow but then gets good. Like it, but not nearly as much as Cudis.
