It looks like KiD CuDi is getting lots of positive attention at the moment. I think it's because he messes with different genres and adds a lot of melody. I haven't loved the songs of his that I've heard, but he does seem to care about his music more than most rapping folk.

I'll probably post one of his songs in the future, but for now here is a beautiful cover version of his track "Persuit Of Happiness". It's the first release by a new band named Barbara. I know nothing about them, here is what The Music Ninja said:

The cover of Kid CuDi’s Pursuit of Happiness began as a joke after a long night of drinking, and is their introduction song to the world.
