KID CUDI
The Lonely Stoner MC aims to make G.O.O.D on his promise with an LP this year.
By: Richard "Treat"s Dryden
WHO: Scott Mescudi, 25-year-old Cleveland native who gained cult status and a Kanye co-sign last year with his astronaut anthem "Day N Night"; plans to release debut LP on ‘Ye’s G.O.O.D
HOW: Relocated to New York at the age of 20 carrying a five-song demo. He eventually pushed "Day N night" as a single via DJ A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold Label, following with the celebrated mixtape A Kid Name Cudi.
OHIO LOVE: "You know what the East COast sounds like. Ohio doesn’t really have an identity. Thats one of my goals: to establish that midwest shit. The melodies play a powerful part because they really hit people and give you that catchy feel, like Bone Thugs and Nelly."
PRO-TE-'YE: "Proteges are people that are molded by somebody I was modled by God. Yea, everybody like the title: ‘Kanye’s protege Kid Cudi.’ But what’s cool about working with Kanye is that he understood my shit. He’s not trying to change anything that I have going on."
FEAR OF A KID PLANET: "A lot of people are going to be thrown off by my album. You’re either going to think I’m a lunatic or a genius; it’s not going to be any in between."
