Biography
Born Scott Mescudi in Cleveland, Ohio on January 30, 1984, the future Kid Cudi started rapping at the end of high school. Initially studying film, he dropped out of university to move to New York to further his music career. He released his first mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi, in 2008, catching the attention of Kanye West who featured the young singer on his 2008 album 808s & Heartbreak. Cudi released the single âDay 'N' Niteâ in 2008 and, thanks to a popular remix of the song that gave it appeal in clubs, the track started to gain real interest, eventually hitting number 3 on the pop charts. In 2009, Cudi released his debut album, the autobiographical, sci-fi tinged concept album Man on the Moon: The End of Day, which hit number 4 in the US charts. He would become one of the dominant figures in hip-hop in the next decade, releasing five albums - including 2010âs Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, 2013âs Indicud, and 2014âs Satellite Flight: Journey to the Mother Moon - which would all go Top 5. He began side projects such as the rock band WZRD with Dot da Genius, and he scored a handful of acting roles during this time. He began the next decade with the biggest single of his career, 2020âs âThe Scotts,â a collaboration with Travis Scott that topped the American and Canadian charts and traveled to the top 10 in multiple countries around the globe. That same year, he and Eminem enjoyed a number 22 hit with âThe Adventures of Moon Man & Slim Shady.â In December of 2020, he issued Man on the Moon III: The Chosen, his fifth album to land in the top 5, and his third to top both the R&B and rap charts. His 2022 album Entgergalactic included the singles âDo What I Wantâ and âWilling To Trust.â In 2024, Kid Cudi released his ninth studio album, Insano, which included features from Travis Scott, DJ Drama, A$AP Rocky, Lil Yachty, Pharrell Williams, Lil Wayne, XXXTentacion, and Young Thug. The following year, he turned heads with the bold pop direction of Free, arriving August 22, 2025, and led the rollout with cinematic singles like âNeverland,â âGrave,â and âMr. Miracle,â each accompanied by visually striking short films.
