Kid Cudi - The new kid on the block talks to Flavour
As this is the trendsetters issue, Flavour had to introduce you to Cleveland rapper Kid Cudi, who is setting the pace for a whole new sound. His music fuses dance, rock, rnb and hip hop and he is currently the hottest new hip-hop artist in the US, and has signed to Kanye West’s label after catching the Love Lockdown artist’s attention with the release of his mixtape A Kid Named Cudi. The singer features on Kanye’s latest album and has been supporting him on tour.
