Kid Cudi's highly anticipated sophomore album, Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, was slated to hit stores on September 14th, but then was pushed back to the 28th ... and now, fans are gonna have to wait even longer.

October longer...

The Cleveland rapper's album, which has yet to score a major single like "Day N Nite" on his debut last year, is now set to drop nearly a month later on October 26th.

The first promo single to drop was "REVOFEV," short for "Revolution Of Evolution," dropped in June. But, the first official single is "Erase Me", featuring Kanye West, which debuted on Cleveland radio in late June.

At press time, Cudi nor his label had explained the delay, but the decision could be credited to the stiff competition on the September 28th release date -- T.I.'s King Uncaged and Young Jeezy's Thug Motivation 10 both are due on that day.

So fans, it's October now.
