On the second track of the mixtape, “I’m Not The Average”, Cudi raps “They don’t know yet, but I’m not the average n*gga.” That had yet to be proven when Kid Cudi recorded this collection of demo tracks in 2000 and 2001. These are some of the earliest tracks heard to date from the artist and for all of his devoted fans is sure to be an enjoyable listen. Rap Hard offers us a glimpse of the artist before he became the superstar we know today, and is a very different sound than his upcoming rock inspired album, Wizard.
