American rapper and singer Kid Cudi has released his new album Entergalactic along with a television series of the same name. The singer also released the lead single of the album on September 30, 2022, titled Do What I Want. Earlier this week, Cudi shared an image of the songs featured on the album.
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.
