With the Feb. 28 release of his rock-inspired concept album, 'WZRD,' featuring production from Grammy-nominated beatmaker Dot da Genius -- he crafted the sound for Cudi's spotlight-stealing hit 'Day N' Nite' -- fans are excited to hear the move from hip-hop into alternative rock. He's more than just another rapper and 'WZRD' showcases this.
In honor of his newest musical offering, The BoomBox looks back at the rhymer-turned-rocker's career. From his fast-paced beginnings and clouded judgment calls to his newly stated desire to make a change, these are the many facets of Kid Cudi.
