Kid Cudi first gained recognition after the release of his first official full-length project, a mixtape titled A Kid Named Cudi (2008). The mixtape caught the attention of Kanye West, who subsequently signed Cudi to his label. Cudi's association with West, as well as his breakout single "Day 'n' Nite,” led him to prominence. "Day 'n' Nite" was included on the mixtape as well as Cudi's debut studio album Man on the Moon: The End of Day (2009), which was certified Gold. In 2010, Cudi released his second studio album, Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, which peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200. In April 2013, Cudi released Indicud. The album peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, becoming Cudi's highest-charting album on several charts. Kid Cudi, who is also a respected actor, continues to rock out around the globe.
