Scott Mescudi aka Kid Cudi has landed a TV deal thanks to Marky Mark Mark Whalberg. The burgeoning rapper has been on a roll since XXL magazine named him one of the 10 rappers who are going to blow this year. Looks like they were right, he hasn’t even released an album yet!

Kid Cudi, now riding the wave of his latest single “Make Her Say” (featuring Common and Kanye West),  confirmed a series titled How To Make It In America. The show will be a comedy where Cudi plays the lead, Domingo Dean (named after both of the rapper’s brothers). There are no more details about the plot just yet, but it  won’t have anything to do with music. Julian Farino, who also did Sex and the City, and some episodes of The Sopranos and Entourage, will be directing. Neither a date, nor network have been confirmed for the series (but I’m banking on HBO 1st quarter).

I’ll keep you posted when I get more details. It sounds interesting, because Mark Whalberg is involved and he’s responsible for Entourage, one of my favorite shows ever (pre season five). Plus, Kid Cudi is an interesting character as well. I have a slight hunch that the show could be a bunch of stoner humor (which can sometimes be amusing). I’m just saying. Have you ever actually listened to Cudi’s lyrics? Only time will tell.
