Biography
Kid Cudi is a Brooklyn-based rapper from Cleveland whose debut single, "Day 'n' Nite," became an online favorite in 2008. Fool's Gold, the label of DJs A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs, released the Day 'n' Nite EP in February 2008 and circulated a Crooks remix around the blogosphere, drumming up a lot of buzz in the process (Rolling Stone magazine touted him among its Top Five best indie hip-hop artists of 2008). He also began touring with the Fool's Gold collective, which performed at a South by Southwest showcase. Meanwhile, Kid Cudi planned the release of his full-length album debut. ~ Jason Birchmeier
