0 Kid Cudi"s Pilot Picked Up By HBO


Congrats to Kid Cudi, his show: "How To Make It In America" was recently picked up by HBO. The show is a comedy which tells the story of the friendship among three twenty somethings not afraid to hustle their way to the American dream. Kid Cudi plays the role of "Domingo Dean" who is the best friend of one the main characters. Might I add, a few of the creators from HBO's "Entourage" will be also involved in the creation process of this show.
