A Kid Named Cudi features Cudi's breakout hit "Day 'n' Nite" and was first released by Fool's Gold. Cudi signed to GOOD Music shortly after the release of the mixtape and enjoyed a fruitful working relationship with Kanye West, though they are no longer working together if comments Cudi made earlier this year are anything to go by.
Cudi fans can also look forward to a new studio album from the rapper. Entergalactic, due September 30, will be released in conjunction with his animated Netflix series of the same name. He will also tour later this year with a raft of North American and international dates in the calendar.
