For the 'i live under a musical and social barrier' demographic above is a dude who you should get familiar with. Kid Cudi is a rap sensation that owes his success to his audience and somewhat trip hop/electro influences. His style is real and its his choice of backing, mashing and collaboration that is special. At times uplifting and pumping and others times a more chilled and melancholy feel - his tracks have come a long way from his first mixtape 'A Kid names Cudi' to his ultra-successful album 'Man on the Moon'. Props to wikipedia who alerted me to the fact that his real name is Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi - hence 'Cudi'. This kid has a lot to offer and although i believe in supporting the scene i am still a broke teenager, however i managed to fork out for the album and was impressed with a collaboration list of Snoop Dog, MGMT, Ratatat and more you can see why his popular in and out of the scene. Below however is an old track of his in which he raps over one of my all time favourite tracks - 'Someone Great' by LCD Soundsystem. Enjoy and remember there is much more then just a Day N Night Pursuit of Happiness to this yank crossover.
peace out!
