The album also features previously released single Willing To Trust (a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign) and many other collaborations, including Can’t Believe It with 2 Chainz, Can’t Shake Her with Ty Dolla $ign, Somewhere To Fly with Don Toliver, and the bonus track Burrow featuring Toliver, Steve Aoki, and Dot Da Genius.

Entergalactic was produced by record producers, including Dot da Genius and Plain Pat, among others. It was initially set to release in 2019 but was postponed to 2022 as Cudi focused on the release of Man on the Moon III: The Chosen (2020).

Also released alongside the album was the Netflix series Entergalactic, in which Cudi voiced the main character.

Cudi has had an eventful year with his world tour To The Moon and the inaugural iteration of his own festival, The Moon Man’s Landing, which is now likely to be held annually.

Also released alongside Kid Cudi's album is the adult-animated series Entergalactic. It is executively produced by Kenya Baris and revolves around the character of Jabari. Set in New York, Cudi earlier described Entergalactic as an explosion of art, music, and fashion. The animated special features Jaden Smith, Ty Dolla $ign, Timothée Chalamet, Teyana Taylor, and Vanessa Hudgens.

Speaking about the show, Kid Cudi wrote in a Twitter post:

“Wait til yall hear and see Entergalactic. U have no idea. I really wanna thank Kenya Barris, Mike Moon, Elizabeth Porter and the whole team for believing in my vision and helping bring it to life. Everything about this show is next level. Ull see”

In an Instagram post, the rapper shared that the project was an emotional one for him:

“This project will move you, it will take your heart places and make you fall in love again. I am so proud of every single person involved who helped bring my vision to life."

Entergalactic’s soundtrack features songs like By Design and Do What I Want, which compliments the recently released album visually.

The show features Jabari (voiced by Cudi) moving into his dream apartment in New York. It is here that he meets his new neighbor, photographer-it-girl Meadow (voiced by Jessica Williams).

Entergalactic is directed by Fletcher Moules and written by Ian Edelman and Maurice Williams. The show is now available to stream on Netflix.
