Kid Cudi is taking a page out of the Beyoncé playbook.

The 30-year-old hip-hop star followed in the "Drunk in Love" singer's footsteps and surprised fans with a brand new album today without any notice.

Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon hit iTunes at midnight on Feb. 25 and comes with 11 new singles and a digital booklet. The $9.99 album comes with space-inspired tracks like "Destination: Mother Moon," "Satellite Flight," "Return of the Moon Man" and "Too Bad I have to Destroy You Now."

Other tracks include "Copernicus Landing," "Internal Bleeding" and "Troubled Boy."

Unlike Beyoncé's surprise self-titled album, which featured a whopping 31 songs and videos and immediately shot to No. 1 on the music charts all over the world back in December, Kid Cudi's new album has yet to crack the top 100 on the iTunes albums of the week (although it is No. 2 today!).

Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon is Kid Cudi's fourth studio album following Man on the Moon: The End of Day, Man on the Moon, Vol. II: The Legend of Mr. Rager and WZRD.
