Though you may not know much about him, you will know the names of his successors. With the likes of The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Tyler, The Creator and many more all drawing inspiration from Kid Cudi, it's safe to say that the impact this artist has left on the industry is one that's deeply entrenched in the history of rap and hip hop.

Growing up with Lil Wayne as his inspiration, Scott Mescudi was taken under the wing of Kanye West's 'GOOD Music' to begin his career as a writer and producer for some of the biggest names in the industry.

However, after the success of his solo career and the subsequent fame that came with it, Scott found himself checking into rehab working through addiction and depression. Now he's back in 2025 with the upcoming release of a new album so it's only fitting that in this episode of Six Notes', we dive into everything that made Kid Cudi the legend that he is.

As always, I'll be taking you through the links between this week's and last episode's 'Lil Nas X'- who do you think the next artist will be and what could be the connection between them and Lil Nas X?
