Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi and Kenya Barris join forces to present the television event ENTERGALACTIC, an original, immersive, animated story about a young artist named Jabari — voiced by Mescudi — as he attempts to balance love and success.

An explosion of art, music and fashion, ENTERGALACTIC takes place in the only city that can handle all three: New York.
