Kid Cudi (born Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi in Cleveland, Ohio, January 30, 1984) is a rapper best described as emblematic of hip-hop's newest trend--the laid-back rapper who cares more about marijuana and women than street cred. He sprang onto the scene with the ''A Kid Named Cudi'' mixtape in 2008 and was signed to Music/KanyeWest's G.O.O.D. Music in the same year. A year later he released his debut album, ''Man on the Moon: The End of Day'' to widespread acclaim, with praise coming for the ethereal beats, Cudi's vocals and for putting his personal tastes for indie rock and similar genres to use. This was followed by ''Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager'' in 2010.

Notable songs include "Day 'n Nite", "Make Her Say", "Pursuit of Happiness", and "Erase Me".

Cudi is also a member of the DreamPop duo WZRD, who released their debut-self titled album in February 2012; and in 2018 teamed up with Music/KanyeWest to form Kids See Ghosts, a RapRock group.

Recently made his film debut in ''Film/NeedForSpeed'', the film based on [[VideoGame/NeedForSpeed the video game series]].
