Bringing It Home

Rapper Kid Cudi got everyone's attention in 2009 with his hypnotic, platinum-selling single "Day 'N' Nite." Since then, the Cleveland native has been featured on tracks by Kanye West and Jay-Z. With last year's release of his second album, Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager, he started taking the stage with a live band and amazing audiences with infectious rock anthems like "Erase Me." Kid Cudi also returns to TV later this year, reprising his supporting role as ladies' man Domingo Brown on the HBO series How To Make It In America. But first, he'll stop at Quicken Loans Arena July 1 for this summer's Cud Life tour with Cleveland's Chip Tha Ripper in tow. $39.50-$65, 888-894-9424, theqarena.com
