Kid Cudi is, best put: coming in hot.

Starting from mixtapes, Cleveland's Kid Cudi caught Kanye West's eye (or ear, I suppose). He soon performed at the 2008 VMAs with the likes of Travis Barker and DJ AM. Rolling Stone named him one of their top 5 indie hip hop artists of the year. He's even going to play a role in HBO's How To Make It In America, Mark Walhberg's latest project.

Kid Cudi will be playing a show this Thursday at Denver's The Church. Not a venue I frequent, but this show would be hard to pass up.

You'll also notice him on Kanye's newest video (say what you will, the video visually continues to blow my mind).
