"Have you ever heard of some shit so real ? Beyond from the heart, from the soul you can feel?"

I know Cudi's been gettin some serious hype for a WHILE now. I had decided that A Kid Named Cudi, his critically acclaimed mixtape presented by streetwear label 10 Deep which featured arguably one of the biggest songs of last year ( "Day N Nite"), was on my top 5 mixtapes of 2008. Friday night however, driving back from Baltimore to DC after the Talib and Jean Grae show, it moved STRAIGHT to NUMBER 1. Listening to it early early in the a.m in a mellower mood than i usually am in made me appreciate it even more. There have been some reports that Cudi may have been tasered and arrested by the police this weekend in Phoenix (get the full report HERE), all because of a scuffle erupting due to his refusal to take off his Jordans for a Reebok sponsored performance (which i congratulate!). His unique blend of electro influenced hip-hop and "sing songy" rap makes his album, tentatively titled Man on the Moon the release i am looking forward to the most in 2009 (Wale's is a close second though...). His album is supposed to drop this summer, and he has plans to release a collaboration album with fellow Cleveland artist Chip The Ripper. Cudi is the hottest thing to come out of Ohio since Bone Thugs,and in celebration of my rediscovery of what a true gem this tape is, COP HIS MIXTAPE BELOW IF YOU DON"T HAVE IT! I also attached a few songs on other people's mixtapes featuring Cudi that are hot as hellfire, so make H-Man happy and cop them too!
