Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Originally conceived as a TV series before Netflix convinced Cudi to make it a feature film with accompanying album.
The visual style draws heavily from Cudi's own comic book 'Entergalactic' and Basquiat's neo-expressionism, making it rare Black-led adult animation that isn't comedy-focused.
