by Scott Kid Cudi Mescudi (Author)
A raw, fearless memoir from the Grammy Award-winning artist, actor, and designer Kid Cudi about a kid from Cleveland who found purpose in the darkness and became a guiding light for a generation.
Cudi: The Memoir is Scott Mescudi's most personal work yet. Across a trailblazing career, he's turned pain into poetry with anthems like "Day 'N' Nite," "Pursuit of Happiness," and "Mr. Rager." His music gave voice to the unheard and hope to the unseen. But while he was ascending to cultural dominance, he was quietly unraveling. Written during a time of deep self-discovery, Cudi is a story of survival--through depression, addiction, isolation, and doubt. In his own words, Scott charts the journey back to himself, offering hard-earned lessons on vulnerability, reinvention, and the courage to keep going.Author Biography
