Kid Cudi and Denzel Curry have dropped “Black Ops,” from the forthcoming soundtrack to his new Moon Man comic series as the first issue hit stands.

The song and soundtrack serve as an accompaniment to the comic series, which Cudi first announced back in October. In a recent panel discussion shared to Reddit, Cudi revealed that each Moon Man issue will be accompanied by a new song that fans can listen to while they peruse the story.

Once all issues have been released, the accompanying tracks will be combined into a full soundtrack.

“Black Ops” — the song that accompanies the first issue of the Moon Man series — which incidentally, has four variant covers — officially dropped on Saturday (February 3). Originally supposed to drop on Friday (February 2), the “Day N’Nite” rapper revealed in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that the song was experiencing a slight delay due to a mixing issue.
