Kid Cudi’s 2009 debut album, 'Man on the Moon: End of the Day,' influenced an entire generation of artists. Centered around his breakthrough hit, “Day ‘N’ Nite,” the project put the Ohio rapper in the spotlight following his debut mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi, and work on Kanye West’s '808s & Heartbreak.' Cudi deliberately chose not to have Kanye too involved in 'Man on the Moon,' and instead established his sound by working with a small group of producers including Emile Haynie, Jeff Bhasker, Plain Pat, and Ratatat. On the album, he tells the story of a dream over five acts to introduce his persona to the world, establishing him as a beacon of hope for generations to come.
