The “MAN on
the MOON” KiD CuDi is a Cleveland native who may
have caught your ear on the melodic Day ‘N Nite track.
What I like most about his music is his unique choice of
“stoner-friendly” beats to rap over that Plain Pat (who is also his manager),
Dot Da Genius, and Emile laced him with on the “A KiD Named CuDi” mixtape. Along with beat selection, hypebeast-favorite
DC representative Wale is featured on his “Is There Any Love?” track. CuDi is getting a lot of love in publications
such as URB, FADER, and Rolling Stones ever since touring with Fool’s Gold on
their North American Tour as well as his big debut at Fool’s Gold’s SXSW
Showcase playing next to the likes of Chromeo and Kid Sister. With the trendy hipster image and key
cosigners, KiD CuDi has caught the eye of many tastemakers. This obviously means that… hipster rap got
next!
