Kid Cudi Insano World Tour
Kid Cudi, the self-dubbed “Man on the Moon,” is a Brooklyn-based rapper from Cleveland whose personal lyrical angles and innovative perspectives on production and genre combination made him one of the more influential talents of his time. Cudi quickly ascended in the late 2000s with a signing to Kanye West’s GOOD Music label for his quadruple-platinum 2009 debut Man on the Moon: The End of Day, which was boosted by his multi-platinum singles “Day ‘n’ Nite” and “Pursuit of Happiness.” With sophomore set Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, he went on to sell millions, winning Grammys and changing the landscape of hip-hop.
His unique vocal style and dreamy instrumentals were calling cards of his sound, but he experimented constantly, with mid-2010s forays into alt rock (WZRD and Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven) and multiple collaborations, including a 2018 Kanye joint effort Kids See Ghosts. In 2020, he concluded his fan-favorite trilogy with the cosmic trap of Man on the Moon III: The Chosen. By 2022, he’d branched out into animated television with his romantic comedy Entergalactic, which was accompanied by an album of the same name. His ninth LP Insano arrived in 2024.
