Kid Cudi is shifting his sights from the music world to the realm of acting, as Cudi will have a lead role in a new HBO series.
“It's called How to Make It in America. It's produced by the guys that did Entourage," revealed Cudi to the Arizona Republic. "Mark Wahlberg is the executive producer. It's directed by Julian Farino, who also did Sex and the City, several episodes of that and The Sopranos, and Entourage. I have a lead role. My character's name is Domingo Dean. I actually named my character after both of my brothers - Dean, who lives in Phoenix, being one of them, and Domingo.”
In spite of his career, Cudi wants no part in being typecast due to his music.
“It has no reference to my music. It was important to me early on to branch away from music and actually do something outside my comfort zone,” elaborated Cudi. “When we were developing my character with the writers, I was telling them, ‘Man, I don't want to be anything that has to do with music,’ just because that's not really acting.”
Although he's begun a career in acting, Cudi's debut Man on the Moon: the End of Day is still scheduled to be released September 15, and will feature The Clipse, Common, Kanye West and Snoop Dogg; production will be helmed by Kanye West, Just Blaze and will.i.am.

Ludacris recently revealed the title of his forthcoming seventh solo album.
Rumours had been floating around that the project would be titled Cineplex but the Atlanta rapper divulged to Rap Up that his latest set will be titled Ludaversal.
“I never remotely said anything about something called Cineplex. Dead that shit,” Luda said. “It’s Ludaversal. That’s what comes after Battle of the Sexes.”
Battle of The Sexes, which is slated to hit shelves this year, will be a collaborative album with fellow DTP rapper Shawanna.
"It’s never been done before. An album with a female and male perspective battling out every song," explained Luda.
Ludaversal is expected to hit stores in 2010.

Lil Wayne's often criticized and anticipated rock album, The Rebirth, has been pushed back yet again--at least according to a Universal Motown rep.
Contrary to recent reports claiming Rebirth would be hitting stores sometime in September after being pushed back a fourth time, a rep for Motown says it is now looking more like an October release.
Cash Money just changes their dates whenever they want to,” says a Universal Motown rep.
“It’s definitely not August. I have no idea why it was moved, and I’m not anticipating a September release. Right now I’m looking at closer to October,” the rep tells Entertainment Weekly.
“It’s not going to be ’til the end of the year. We’re talking about holiday [season].”

Drake has been forced to pull out of Lil Wayne's Young Money Presents: The America's Most Wanted Music Festival tour.
According to reports, Drake had hoped to have recovered enough from a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) to perform a 30-minute set, but the painful injury is still causing him problems - and, as a result, he has had to cancel his solo slot altogether.
"I'm not doing my own set. That's one thing I have to apologize to my fans about. It's too much of a risk, if I hit that wrong turn (doing) 30 minutes every night. If I tear my ACL again, the doctors say I might not be able to walk again. I have to be cautious," Drake tells MTV News.
Drake says that he will still try to join Weezy and other Young Money members on featured songs.
The tour kicked off last night in Pennsylvania.
In an effort to keep the show rolling, Nicki Minaj has been added to the tour line up and will be performing cuts from her mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty.
