Now, MCs use the format to establish a buzz, intensify that buzz and in some cases pave the road to super stardom. Since Kid Cudi hooked up with Kanye’s G.O.O.D Music his buzz has been deafening with the release of his stoner anthem Day N’ Nite . The Cleveland MC seeks to capitalize on this as well as prove his worth with the release of his new mixtape aptly titled Dat Kid From Cleveland.

There are also new tracks, skits and freestyles that you will hear for the first time. While the mixtape title shows a bit of modesty, soon Cudi will be known as more then just a kid from Cleveland.
