Looks like See You In My Nightmares is the official next single.... (still praying 4 Amazing.)

For Paranoid it says featuring Mr. Hudson, but it still has Kid Cudi down for backup vocals.

Alotta addictional vocals that i never heard. AND THE WRITERS Jeezy has 3 writing credits, Cudi has writing credits for songs he wasnt even on. And Mr. Hudson (& Library) is a freakin producer!!
