How To Make It In America is the new HBO show that makes being a struggling 20-something hipster in NYC look rather pleasurable. The show is based on two bros and chronicles their chase for the "american dream" while painting a landscape of areas around New York City. Some are calling it Entourage 2.0, but with the plot too thin and the backstories never really explored in detail they'll have their work cut out for them.
There are some unexpected cameos made early in the form of Kid Cudi(via day n' night) and Shitbreak(via American Pie). With Cudi in the mix it was inevitable that HBO would team up with the Cudder in order to help inspire an alt-authentic platform for the soundtrack. Cudi and DJ Green Lantern have put together an 18 song mixtape with some recognizable songs from recent times and also some grittier hip-hop numbers. Only a few of the songs from the actual show made the cut to the tape, one being the title track 'I Need A Dollar' by Aloe Blacc. The link to that track and the entire mixtape after the jump.

Wave Machines- Keep The Lights On
