Cleveland space-cadet rapper Kid Cudi knows his indie synthpop darlings. For “Pursuit of Happiness”, the third single from his forthcoming LP Man on the Moon: The End of Day, Cudi has lined up two Brooklyn duos as collaborators. Ratatat produce, giving it a hazy, plinky psych-rap beat. MGMT‘s ghostly harmonies show up on the chorus, backing Cudi’s own gravelly croon. The song is a deeply stoned singsong nugget. Check the song out below, via Stereogum.

Meanwhile, Man on the Moon will drop September 15 from Dream On/G.O.O.D./Universal Motown. Cudi Performed on “Late Show With David Letterman” with Ratatat as part of his backing band on September 11th.

Check out both the Studio Version and the Live Performance on Letterman.
