Kid Cudi has dropped a new single and accompanying video, “Stars in the Sky,” which is set appear in upcoming film, Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
The music video sees the rapper joining Sonic on a fast-moving adventure, incorporating footage from the film, as well as animated scenes that pay homage to the original Sonic the Hedgehog video game.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 hits theaters April 8.
The film stars Jim Carrey, James Madsen and Tika Sumpter, and features the voices of Ben Schwartz as the titular character and Idris Elba as Sonic’s rival Knuckles.
“Stars in the Sky” may be a family-friendly outing for Kid Cudi — but the rapper, recently starred in the very adult horror film X, which premiered this month.
Cudi has been dabbling in film in recent years, appearing alongside Ariana Grande in last year’s Don’t Look Up. The pair also released a song for the film, “Just Look Up.”
This week he announced details of his upcoming directorial debut Teddy. That movie will debut on Netflix.
