Cudi

The Memoir

Featuring original music by Kid Cudi.

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.

The journey

Wow, this book was such a trip! I know that sounds quirky, but it truly felt like a journey almost an out of body experience. I’ve been a Cudi fan since my early teens, and his music has always made me feel less alone, comforting me through some of my darkest moments. Now, as an adult, I treasure anything that can pull me away from reality and the noise of social media.

This book gave me exactly that an intimate glimpse into someone else’s life, told entirely through their own eyes. I felt so many emotions, so many moments I could relate to. I loved every single minute of it. I’ll take this with me forever and never stop raving about how good it is.
