Insano (stylized in all caps) is the ninth studio album by American rapper Kid Cudi. It was released on January 12, 2024, via Wicked Awesome Records and Republic Records. Kid Cudi had initially announced this would be his last contractual album with Republic, the major-label he had been with since his commercial debut album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day (2009). The album follows his 2022 effort Entergalactic, which was accompanied by its visual component, an award-winning TV special of the same name.

The album, which features guest appearances from fellow American rappers Travis Scott, ASAP Rocky, Lil Yachty, Pharrell Williams, XXXTentacion, Lil Wayne, and Young Thug, also includes American hip hop disc jockey DJ Drama, narrating the album in a similar way to his famed Gangsta Grillz mixtape series. Production was handled by a variety of record producers, such as Cudi, Lil Yachty, and Williams themselves, alongside Plain Pat, Dot da Genius, Bnyx, Keyon Christ, and Mike Zombie, among others.
