Cudder sat down with Karmaloop TV to discuss his current efforts and connections with his fans.

It’s pretty widely known that Cleveland artist Kid Cudi worked for A Bathing Ape in New York City while struggling to hit it big time. Cudder has been collaborating with his former employee recently for a few different pieces, this time culminating in a t-shirt to be released online on Jan. 20th and in BAPE NY on the 23rd.

Kid Cudi’s new video for “Pursuit of Happiness” ft. Ratatat and MGMT. Just in time for the new year. I was tweeting that the end reminds me of that Spike Jonze x Kanye video from earlier this year. What do you think?

I was just discussing the unknown origin of this Kid Cudi track the other day as it played on the PA system of one of my favorite sushi restaurants, Sushi X. Nah Right reports that its from this guy Sharam, who is apparently a well known electronica artist in Europe. Check the Sergio Leone inspired video above.
