Yesterday we unveiled our third cover story with Kid Cudi, and today we’re pleased to present the October/November issue’s other cover, starring rap’s most controversial rookie, Kreayshawn. Admit it: no matter how you feel about the music, you’re dying to hear her story. Complex editor Ernest Baker spent some time with Kreay and got the inside scoop on her incredible journey from YouTube videos to a million dollar record deal. He also got her candid take on all the hot-button issues, from beef with Game and Rick Ross to her homegirl V-Nasty’s use of the N-word. The magazine officially hits stands on October 4, but we’re giving you a chance to check out the complete cover story now…

Yeah, Complex fucks with Kid Cudi musically—that much should be obvious at this point. We first featured Cudi in the magazine’s “Street Detail” column back in 2007, when he was just a fresh kid named Scott working at the NYC BAPE Store. Since then, he’s released two classic albums and gone through a lifetime worth of personal and professional drama. We’ve been there to chronicle it all, collaborating with Cudi on three quotable cover stories over the last three years.

Our October/November 2011 issue completes Cudi’s Complex hat trick. This year has been filled with change for Cudi—quitting weed, parting ways with some longtime business partners, making up with some old friends, and recording a rock album called The Wizard. Can he keep it all together? Complex Editor-in-chief Noah Callahan-Bever caught up with Cudi to find out where his head is at and where he’s going. The new issue hits stands on October 4, but we’re giving you an early look at the cover story (and extended gallery) now…
