?Kid Cudi is at the vanguard of a game-changing new generation of artists,? said Universal Motown President Sylvia Rhone. ?He crosses musical boundaries with an appeal that goes beyond genre, format, race, language, and culture. Cudi lives easily in the hip-hop, indie rock, pop, and R&B worlds ? a diversity that shows in his innovative music and his all-embracing persona. He is a born storyteller who brings a positive, life-affirming message to his brilliant lyrical flow and compelling music. He is a breath of fresh air ? a dynamic and important new voiceCleveland, Ohio native KID CUDI, now residing in Brooklyn, New York, is completing his debut album, Man on the Moon 'The End of Day' for September 14th release on Dream On/G.O.O.D. Music/Universal Motown. Cudi also is launching his own label, Dream On, along with partners Emile and Plain Pat, in a joint venture with G.O.O.D. Music later this year. ?Cudi is a combination of constant inspiration, struggle, reality and dreams put to melody!? declared superstar producer/artist and G.O.O.D. Music label founder Kanye West. The ingenious, spaced-out wit and sparse but addictive electronic arrangement of ?Day ?N? Nite? has already made the song a Top 5 iTunes download ? No. 4 on the Top Songs list, chart and No. 3 on Rap/Hip-Hop -- while debuting in Billboard?s Hot Digital Tracks chart at No. 6, at the threshold of gold certification with over 450,000 digital singles sold; and on Hot Ringmasters at No. 10. ?Day ?N? Nite? was a bulleted No. 7 On Billboard?s Hot 100 singles chart and is Greatest Gainer in sales on that list. ?Day ?N? Nite? also built an immediate worldwide story, with radio and sales breakouts in Canada, New Zealand, Sweden and especially Belgium, where the track is already Top 5, and the U.K., where the club mix of the track by Crookers entered the national singles chart at No. 2.KID CUDI released his first mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi, in July, 2008 as a free download sponsored by New York streetwear company 10 Deep, leading to an introduction and signing to Kanye West?s G.O.O.D. Music imprint, and in turn, to Cudi?s co-writing of four tracks on the platinum Kanye West album 808s & Heartbreak, including the Top 5 single, ?Heartless? and stepping out in a featured vocal on ?Welcome to Heartbreak.?
