Kid Cudi Postcard, 2009

His debut album, Man on the Moon: The End of the Day, was released in 2009. The album includes the GRAMMY-nominated singles “Day ‘n’ Nite” and “Make Her Say.” His most recent studio album, Entergalactic (2022), was accompanied by an animated Netflix special of the same name. Cudi is also an actor, recently appearing in the Academy Award-nominated Don’t Look Up (2021) and the critically acclaimed horror film X (2022). “I don’t think Cudi 15 years ago would believe it,” Cudi said. “He’d be like, ‘No fu*king way! Ten albums? I can’t even get out my debut!’ He’d be so stressed. I think that’s the beautiful thing about my career. I’m still surprising myself. I’m exploring. I realize that everything is possible.”
