Born Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, the 26-year-old Ohio native is most famous for his 2009 hit, “Day ‘n’ Nite,” a collaboration with Crookers that landed in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. It was also featured in his debut album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day, and has garnered about 26 million views on YouTube. Cudi was also featured in Kanye West’s album, 808s and Heartbreak, co-writing megahits such as “Heartless,” and singing with Kanye on “Welcome to Heartbreak.” He has also been a musical guest on David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel and is now starring in the HBO comedy series “How to Make it in America,” produced by Mark Wahlberg.

Recently, he received three Grammy nominations for Best Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Song for “Day ‘n’ Nite” and finally Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for “Make Her Say” ft. Common and Kanye West. (Source)

Not bad, CEB! Keep checking Noice for more updates regarding Yardfest! It’s shaping up to be a great spring concert Harvard! And remember, our Yardfest is completely free. Suck it, rival schools! :P

Check out some of his other hits here: Pursuit of Happiness (ft. MGMT and Ratatat), Make Her Say (ft Kanye West and Common). Also, since you’re already overcome with joy and/or procrastinating, take a look at his website.

Starting November 25th, (great news to any of you going to NYC for Thanksgiving if you don’t live, we don’t know, say a block away), GoToBus will begin a transportation/bus service from Harvard Square directly to New York City. This is epic because 1) it’s only $20 2) it’s from HARVARD SQUARE. We’re lazy, this is great news.

The buses will leave and return via the Charles Hotel from Friday to Sunday once the service gets up and running. We’re thinking a trip is in order? More info can be found here.
