Kid Cudi is going galactic once again, this time, with a collaboration with sci-fi franchise Star Trek. Star Trek and the artist announced on Thursday (Oct. 5) that the “Day ‘n’ Nite” rapper will be the face of its latest campaign titled “Boldly Be.”

The collaboration is set to launch at New York Comic Con — held at the Javits Center — on Oct. 12, and features a Fortnite gaming experience, streetwear capsule collection and a new song from the rapper titled “Heaven’s Galaxy.” Cudi’s fandom of the franchise inspired “Heaven’s Galaxy,” which was produced by Dot Da Genius. The track will be available on streaming starting on Oct. 12.

The Star Trek x Cudi streetwear collection includes tees, crewnecks, hoodies, a custom button-up T-shirt and a colorful leather varsity jacket. NYCC attendees can hit up Star Trek x Kid Cudi’s booth 2653 to pre-order items from the collab, with the collection dropping on Kid Cudi’s website on Oct. 16.

The Fornite experience, titled Star Trek x Kid Cudi: Mirror Mayhem, will see Cudi stepping into the world of the franchise and the popular video game. “Heaven’s Galaxy” will be in the game, in addition to previously unheard songs from the rapper’s forthcoming album, INSANO. According to the press release, players can “partner with Captain Skyles (Kid Cudi) on a mission to uncover the source of a sonic anomaly that threatens the peaceful planet Vada.” The collab’s NYCC booth will also offer a first look at the gaming experience.

Media Beat: A Community FM Punching Above Its Weight (Column)

99.3 County FM in Prince Edward County, Ontario has admirably supported its local community as it has gone through considerable changes.

One doesn’t often hear praise for the penny-pinched community radio stations that serve rural communities in Canada, and yet there are more than 150 of them that are largely supported by local advertising, memberships, fundraisers and the small number of grants available through the Canadian Radio Fund of Canada (CRFC).

Many of these FMs are the source of local news and current events in the community as weekly newspapers have mostly gone the way of the dodo bird. Complicating their reach is Meta’s blocking of news content on Facebook and Instagram.
