This kid does not know how to made a dud. A mixtape from Cudi is well equivalent to an album. This ones just damn near parallel to his first one, A Kid Name Cudi. The production, rhymes/melodies and rare guest features are flawless. I highly recommend this for the collection, i-Pods, jams, mixes and the whips. His debut, Man On the Moon: The Guardian, will drop August 25th 2009. Peep the tracklist and download link after the jump. Also, check out the sooper ill promo video for the mixtape.

Bombing Science recently caught up with Chi-Town graffiti artist Pose for an interview.

“Bombing Science: How did you get into Graff and what were your early inspirations?

Pose: Boredom and the unbelievable urge to be up everywhere and rock burners.  In the early nineties (pre buff) Chicago’s graff scene was BOOMING!  There was so much good graffiti and so many writers, shit was destroyed, riding the trains as a child it was the most unbelievable shit I had ever seen, nothing could describe it.  With Graff visually sinking in your whole childhood you just get to a breaking point where you go out, rack some shitty cans and try your hardest to figure it out. Then comes the wildfire that takes over your life, the excitement, bombing, chases, beef, wars, court cases, racking, friends, fights, good times, stories, travels.  The next thing you know it just completely consumed the last 17 years of your life.”
