The Moon Man comic series was launched in January of this year. As Cudi noted in his message, he has been releasing songs to go along with issues of the comic. Earlier this month, he put out “Dreams I See” t0 accompany the latest issue.
Produced by Rami Beatz and Matt Spatola, the track finds the Lonely Stoner delivering vintage Man on the Moon vibes as he raps, sings and hums over a spacey yet drum-heavy backdrop.

Lyrically, it’s also a classic Cudi affair with vulnerabile admissions, a fascinating with the dreamworld and melodic motivational mantras like: “In the dreams I see/ My life’s ups and downs, who save energy/ No one but me now, no, no, sail on.”
The song accompanies the latest edition of the Moon Man comic book series, which hit shelves on Wednesday (July 10) and further brings his sonic universe to life in illustrated form.
According to Variety, “Moon Man traces the journey of Ramon Townsend, who becomes something of a celebrity after saving his ship and crew in a near-disastrous moon mission.
“Townsend is intent on returning to a normal, quiet life back in Cleveland, though the threat of what happened on that mission casts a shadow over his ambitions.

“In the third iteration of the series, Townsend begins to test the limits of his abilities, until the return of an old friend complicates his life further.”
The new song and comic book is also accompanied by a limited-edition clothing collection featuring four designs based on the artwork from the latest iteration of the series.
