KID CUDI and The International Space Orchestra (ISO) today come together to announce  the release of an immersive musical event on 17th June as a part of Amazon Prime Day Show

Kid Cudi is among the artists who will be taking part in this year’s Prime Day Show festivities for Amazon.

Thursday morning, Amazon announced details for its three-part “immersive musical event,” which will be available to all Amazon customers for 30 days with or without a Prime membership.

The 25-minute experience will feature songs from Cudi’s 2020 album Man on the Moon III: The Chosen, all brought to life with the International Space Orchestra serving as Cudi’s backing band. The group is the first orchestra in the world to be comprised of scientists from NASA’s Ames Research Center, the SETI Institute, and the International Space University.
