We alluded to it back in March, now Pitchfork is officially spilling the beans about Running Man, A-Trak’s take on Nike+’s successful series of original workout jamz from the likes of LCD Soundsystem and other upstanding citizens. Running Man features 45 minutes of original music (and serves as A-Trak’s full-length production debut), Kid Cudi pops up for a guest spot, Dust provides exclusive digital booklet illustrations, and you can cop the whole thing on iTunes on June 24th.
Hitting for the trifecta on Cudi posts! Read about our dude in the latest issues of The FADER and Mass Appeal (RIP), both currently on newsstands. If you hate paper, you can read the articles here and here.
