This news comes on the heels of Kid Cudi hyping up his upcoming Netflix series and accompanying album, both titled Entergalactic, on Twitter. The "Day N Nite" rapper referred to the entire project as "the greatest piece of art [he's] ever made."

ENTERGALACTIC is the greatest piece of art Ive ever made

Kid Cudi initially announced the project back in 2019, though it was ultimately pushed back to 2022. However, he shared that the extra time only allowed him to perfect the highly anticipated Netflix series—which is notably being produced by Kenya Barris, the creator of Black-ish.

I am so sooo fuckin proud of this show. U have no idea what ur in for. 3 years in the making.

He went on to confirm that the album and Netflix series will both drop on the same day, though he nonetheless recommended for fans to check out the show before listening to the compilation.

Id say watch the show first then consume the album.

Kid Cudi also gushed about his favorite part of creating the Entergalactic series: getting to do voice acting.

The voice acting was the most fun… the music too but Ive always wanted to do more voice acting and idk it was like another dream come true foreal. https://t.co/AhNQbt55V6

This isn't the first time Kid Cudi has opened up about the upcoming project. Back in 2019, he shared that the album was "something different."

"A lot of the songs aren’t really from the Scott perspective; they’re from the perspective of the character," he stated. “It’s a new, fun, and exciting way to write music. I have eight albums. I needed to do something different."

It's unclear when exactly the project—which Netflix describes as "quirky" and "romantic"—will drop, though it's expected to come sometime this year. In the meantime, fans can gear up for Kid Cudi's world tour and check out some candid Instagram photos from his various Entergalactic parties.
