Scott Mescudi, better known by his stage name Kid Cudi, is a Cleveland rapper who started to gain attention through the release of his first single, "Day 'n' Nite". Cudi released his first mixtape, A KiD Named CuDi, in collaboration with New York streetwear brand 10.Deep Clothing as a free download[1]. The mixtape features a guest appearance from DC rapper Wale and caught the attention of Kanye West which spawned his signing to the GOOD Music Label. In early September 2008, he performed at the 2008 VMAs along side Travis Barker and DJ AM. Kid Cudi is featured on Kanye West's latest album, 808s & Heartbreak, singing with him on the track named "Welcome to Heartbreak," providing additional vocals on "Paranoid" and helping with songwriting on "Heartless." Even though it was never released as a single, "Welcome to Heartbreak" managed to peak at number eighty-seven on the Pop 100 regardless.[2] He is finishing up his debut album Man on the Moon: The Guardians for a Spring 2009 release.[3]
In the UK, Kid Cudi featured on the longlist for the BBC News website's Sound of 2009 poll of up-and-coming acts[4]. Kid Cudi Lyrics |
