Cleveland’s Kid Cudi
With all the attention my last piece was getting (Drake), I figured I’d sit down for an hour or two and put together another one fueled by the sounds and words that move me.
If ya’ll don’t know who Kid Cudi is, it’s about time you familiarized yourself. His mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi, is unbelievable. Straight out of Cleveland, Cudi was recently all over Kanye West’s 808’s & Heartbreak release, and you may recognize his hit, “Day ‘N’ Nite”. His sound is unlike anything I’ve ever heard before, and after spending most of the fall and winter with Cudi lyrics literally writing the story of my life, I had to give props where props is due.
This piece is about his song, “The Prayer”. It’s not a really popular song, but I found it got me through some pretty tough times during the coldest winter. Give it a listen.
Here’s what you’ve been patiently waiting for:
