Kid Cudi
Heard this for the first time tonight on Ratatat/Jay-Z/Notorious radio (www.last.fm). This is one that may or may not end up being on repeat for a little while in my apt. For me, this song came in like a lamb and out like a lion in terms of how much I liked it. To say Cudi's unique would probably be an understatement, especially considering his real name is Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi and is of Native American-African American-Mexican descent. According to Wikipedia, he was inspired by Tribe Called Quest (personal fav), dropped out of college to pursue music in Brooklyn NY, and is now starring in the new HBO comedy series How to Make it in America, produced by Mark Wahlberg.
