How To Make It In America, Kid Cudi, DJ Green...

We’re about a year late over here. But it seems that my favourite TV show is about to land in the UK. I was sold on How To Make It In America within the first 60 seconds. The title sequence: the photography, the song, Marky Mark, shit… everything. Within about 5 minutes the leads are at a house party greeting Kid Cudi. They care about music. Hell, the lead’s even a singer. ...

They’ve turned out an album and a number of webisodes of the process. Very...
