Danger Mouse & Black Thought - Cheat Codes

Finally putting an end to years of swirling rumors and speculation, the collaboration is now officially announced: Danger Mouse & Black Thought bring us their debut album, Cheat Codes. The album features guest spots from MF DOOM, A$AP Rocky, Run The Jewels and more. Highlights include "Because", "Strangers" and "No Gold Teeth".

The natural chemistry between Brian (Danger Mouse) and Tariq (Black Thought) comes through in the ease with which the artist and listener move through this album. Moreover, it's an album untethered to any genre, era or trend - uncategorizable and timeless. It is the sound of the pair observing their own culture and asking questions they still may not have the answers to.

Brian Burton (AKA one half of Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells, and Karen O & Danger Mouse - and universally regarded as the most versatile producer in modern music) has found a formidable new partner in the incomparably prolific rapper Tariq Trotter - rapper, MC & co-founder of The Roots, film and theater actor, producer, writer or, as Hypebeast sums up: "One of the best lyricists in hip-hop history."

Heavyweight vinyl produced by BMG in 2022. Made in Ireland.
