G.O.O.D. music artist Kid Cudi has decided to take the leap from hip hop to acting. You can expect to see Cudi staring in a lead role in a upcoming HBO series.

The truth is I have received a couple of press releases about a rapper named Kid Cudi as well as a few media packages, but I have never heard of him.

That is until now! I searched the belly of the online world and I found some of his mix tape tracks and I was blown away. Truth be told it was kind of nice to hear real hip hop. So I decided by not introducing my readers to Kid Cudi I was doing nothing but being a part of the problem... I didn't want to do that I wanted to become part of the solution and to help improve hip hop.

Alright... Maybe I have gotten off track just a little! Back to the facts... The series that Kid Cudi will be featured in on HBO is entitled, "How To Make It In America." What makes me believe that this series is going to be a hit is because HBO has obviously stacked the deck. The show is going to be produced by the same guy who produced Entourage. Mark Wahlberg is the executive producer, and Julian Farino will be directing.

His character's name is Domingo Dean, and despite the successes that Kid Cudi has had as a rapper he insist that his character have nothing to do with the music business.

Although Kid Cudi has secured a part in this new HBO series he has still found time to work on his up coming album, "Man on The Moon: The End of Days." Word on the street is his album will be released on September 15th, so do yourself a favor and cop this album. The album will feature The Clipse, Common, Kanye West, and the legendary Snoop Dogg. The production of the album will be supported by Kanye West, Just Blaze and Will.i.am.
