A KID NAMED CUDI

Through decades, hip hop music has evolved creatively to adapt to the current listening crowd. Presently, this specific wavelength of the hip hop spectrum is all about INDIE HIP HOP. The likes of wiz khalifa, wale, the cool kids - they all bring something fresh to the table. Here's another name - KID CUDI - a Cleveland rapper with a killer sing-song flow. His first big break was at South by Southwest in 2007. His first single blazed the iTunes charts. Then came his sick mixtape. Now a 30-city world tour. Indeed, its nice to be "cudi" these days.
