We randomly found out about a special, private event for Kid Cudi last night at Mr. West, and talked our way in to see what the fuss was about. (Actually, I had to say that I was a member of Itsthereal.com to get in lol) I don't really know what the purpose of the event was, but I'm assuming it was somewhat of a coming out party for the hot new artist. He's doing pretty big things right now, especially after being featured on Kanye West's latest album, "808s and Heartbreak", and now everyone is really taking notice of him as he gets more commercial attention.   However, we've been a fan of his for quite some time.

The event was very industry, and a little too stiff for my taste, so I didn't stay long and called it an early night. However, many notable people around New York (and some All That's Fab faves) attended, including Busta Rhymes, Melanie Fiona, Sylvia Rhone (Universal/Motown executive), Ryan Leslie, and Miss Info.

Check out pics and video from the event over at our homie, Lexie's spot, Str8NYC.com.
