Signed to Kanye West's record label, his first proper album will be released later on in the Spring of this year. The lead single "Day 'N' Nite" has begun to get play on U.S. radio. The song has already done pretty well on the Dance radio stations through the funkier Crookers Remix. Listen to some of his songs on his MySpace: www.myspace.com/kidcudi

Really excited about his album. Have his mixtape, and it's great. I'm really loving Day 'n' Nite right now.

I'm anticipating to hear more from this guy. Love his mixtape and his whole vibe. He also contributed to some of my favorite songs on 808s & Heartbreak.

M.I.A. had announced that she was 'retiring' a short time before "Paper Planes" blew up and became huge. And now she's out of 'retirement.' Though with Kid Cudi, he could be for real, at least for now. This is what he posted on his MySpace blog when the Crookers remix video for "Day N Nite" was released:

If he's really that upset he should leave. I mean, that's not healthy, and it's probably not going to get any better.

I see his point but...he really comes off as not being terribly intelligent. He should have someone proofread for him. He should not type "tryna" for "trying to" or "suttin" for something. ugh. He also needs to stop SHOUTING lol. Sorry if that seems mean- just seems like he should be a tad more professional, is all.

He took it all back in an MTV interview today. He's hoping people are relating to his music and the business should be about changing lives, like Obama. I hope he knows what he's talking about, because I don't.

Oh, so it's just a publicity stunt, either that or a temper tantrum. I think a combo, but more of the latter than the former.

Kid Cudi Signs to Universal Motown G.O.O.D. Music recording artist Kid Cudi will rub elbows with the likes of Busta Rhymes, Akon, and Asher Roth, among others, at his new home on Universal Motown, the label announced today. The rapper, born Scott Mescudi, is a “born storyteller who brings a positive, life-affirming message to his brilliant lyrical flow and compelling music,” according to label president Sylvia Rhone. “[Cudi] crosses musical boundaries with an appeal that goes beyond genre, format, race, language, and culture. He is a breath of fresh air—a dynamic and important new voice, not only in the next phase of hip-hop, but as a groundbreaking trendsetter who represents the future,” Rhone said in a statement. “I am thrilled to welcome Kid Cudi into the Universal Motown family.” A native of Ohio, Cudi first garnered worldwide attention with his multi-format breakout record, “Day ‘N’ Nite,” which will appear on his debut album, Man on the Moon: The Guardian. The project, set for release in late summer, will launch on G.O.O.D./Universal Motown, as well as the rapper’s own label, Dream On. The label is a joint venture with G.O.O.D. Music and is also headed by partners Emile and Plain Pat, who produced Cudi’s first mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi. Fellow rapper and G.O.O.D. Music founder Kanye West also added his sentiments on Cudi’s latest accomplishment. “Cudi is a combination of constant inspiration, struggle, reality, and dreams put to melody!” West said. “Day ‘N’ Nite” is currently No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. www.rap-up.com/2009/04/15/kid-cudi-signs-to-universal-motown/

We were officially informed last week that Kid Cudi’s debut album Man on the Moon: The Guardians would land on Universal Motown, and we now have an official launch date. The Cleveland MC will release his first project on August 25, Rap-Up.com has confirmed. He has been in the studio with Travis Barker, Ryan Leslie, will.i.am, Swizz Beatz, and Just Blaze. Kanye West’s protégé has a busy summer ahead. In addition to completing his album, Cudi has been included in the lineup at the 2009 Lollapalooza Festival being held Aug. 7-9 at Chicago’s Grant Park. He is also acting in a Mark Wahlberg-produced show for HBO called “How to Make It in America.” Meanwhile, his first single “Day ‘N’ Nite” is No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. www.rap-up.com/2009/04/23/kid-cudis-debut-album-gets-launch-date/

That is still a while away. I think it may be a little too long. Day N Nite is steadily gaining more buzz and circulation. Why wait until the end of the summer to release this effort?

Universal Motown was a better label when it was just an independent label called Motown Records.
All Universal Motown can do these days is get your album in the store and that's about it.
