Kid Cudi Ushers in a New Era of Creativity With 'ENTERGALACTIC'

Kid Cudi has dropped off his latest record, ENTERGALACTIC.

Accompanying his Netflix TV series of the same name, which also premieres today, the 15-track album clocks in at 45 minutes and features guest appearances from Ty Dolla $ign, 2 Chainz and Don Toliver, along with production work from the likes of Steve Aoki, Dot Da Genius, Take A Daytrip, Plain Pat and more. ENTERGALACTIC marks Cudder’s first full-length album since the celebrated Man on the Moon III: The Chosen from 2020, and paints a vibrant picture of what fans can expect from his animated series.

The album’s Netflix counterpart stars Cudi as Jabari and Jessica Williams as Jabari’s neighbor, photographer and love interest, Meadow. The trailer shows the pair meeting and hitting it off, but the whirlwind romance is quickly disrupted by the sudden appearance of Jabari’s ex-girlfriend:

“Scott ‘Kid Cudi’ Mescudi and Kenya Barris join forces to present the television event ENTERGALACTIC, an original, immersive, animated story about a young artist named Jabari — voiced by Mescudi — as he attempts to balance love and success. Finding the latter brings Jabari a step closer to the former, when moving into his dream apartment introduces him to his new neighbor, photographer it-girl Meadow — voiced by Jessica Williams. An explosion of art, music and fashion, ENTERGALACTIC takes place in the only city that can handle all three: New York.”

Also appearing in the show are Ty Dolla $ign, Timothée Chalamet, Laura Harrier, Vanessa Hudgens, Christopher Abbott, 070 Shake, Jaden Smith, Keith David, Teyana Taylor, Arturo Castro and Macaulay Culkin.

Stream Kid Cudi’s ENTERGALACTIC on Spotify and Apple Music, and stream the series on Netflix now.
