Kid Cudi
Kid Cudi is the stage name of Scott Mescudi, an American rapper and singer known for introspective, emotionally vulnerable hip-hop.
His 2009 debut *Man on the Moon* pioneered a style blending hip-hop with psychedelic rock and electronic textures, influencing artists from Kanye West to Travis Scott.
His music often explores depression, anxiety, and loneliness: Kid Cudi helped me through some dark times.
