Cudi

The Memoir

By: Scott "Kid Cudi" Mescudi

Narrated by: Scott "Kid Cudi" Mescudi

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 story.

An amazing story of trial tribulations and triumph.. a story truly inspiring, my hero Kid Cudi.

Cudi

Love you cud. And just want to say you saved my life. Book was incredible and happy for you man!

Refreshing

I can’t say how much I appreciate this, a deeper dive into the mind & heart of one of our favorite artists & humans beings.
Scott delivers his honest truth, real & confident.
Love this man, thanks for being you Cudi.

An artist and a memoir that will always bring me comfort.

Kid Cudi expressed himself eloquently and is always so real. I love the integration of some of his music in the audible version. And if you’re a super fan like me I recommend getting the hard copy too cause it comes with paintings of his work and pictures of his family. It’s beautifully put together and I’m so happy to see him thriving and sharing more of himself. Thank you Cudi.

So much love

Healed me in a lot of ways. Thank you for always being vulnerable with us

Intimate

I’ve always been a fan of Cudi, but after listening to the memoir, actually read by Cudi himself, I feel so much closer and attached! He saved me!

The Chosen One!

Amazing!!! After following him from day 1 it was so cool piecing together the timeline of what I thought I already knew... MY GOAT 4 EVER!

Kid Cudi is amazing and inspiring.

His voice is always comforting, great story, real life, inspiring and interesting.. I can really visualize as he speaks. Love Kid Cudi so much!!

The Chosen

I can’t believe I’ve been listening to him since around 7th grade (I’m now 28 years old). It’s been fascinating watching Cudi grow as an artist and as a human being and I feel like I speak for so many of us fans that it feels like we’re growing alongside him. I’m glad he’s in a better space right now and continue to wish that for him and his new relationship. Rage on 🤘🏾

Bruh this is outstanding

Love every bit of it. To hear his story from his was so heart warming
