Fresh off his time in New York City for New York Fashion Week, Kid Cudi has dropped a cut that he’s calling “an ode to New York.” Entitled “Don’t Worry,” the track – which remains a YouTube exclusive at the time of writing – is a nostalgic one, with Cudi enlisting none other than long-term collaborator and companion King Chip (a.k.a Chip Tha Ripper) to contribute.
“I moved to NY in 2005. Over the years, it became my second home,” Cudi writes in an on-screen message before the video begins.
“To the people of NY, this is my love letter to you. Thank you for always making me feel like family. I love you endlessly, enjoy.”
In the captivating, Cudi-directed visual, it’s clear that Cudi and Chip’s chemistry has not aged a day, as the rappers galivant throughout the city, bouncing between rooftop to studio to art gallery – literally bouncing, bringing their dance moves to each location they hit.
One of the locations is Cudder’s Members of the Rage archival gallery, with Cudi donning one of the line’s standout varsity jackets and the visual closing out with a compilation of footage from the event.
While “Don’t Worry” hasn’t yet made its way over to streaming services, listen to the track in the music video above.
