Longtime friends Danger Mouse and Black Thought are teaming up on a new collaborative album called Cheat Codes, out in August. This marks Danger Mouse’s first hip-hop venture since his DANGERDOOM project with the late MF DOOM in the mid-2000s. The last album-length collab he did was with Karen O on 2019’s Lux Prima. As for Black Thought, this follows the Roots rapper’s Streams Of Thought trilogy. Along with the news is a new single and video for “No Gold Teeth,” which comes directed by UK creative duo UNCANNY (aka George Muncey and Elliot Elder).
Cheat Codes features a bunch of big-name guests, including A$AP Rocky, Run The Jewels, MF DOOM, Michael Kiwanuka, Joey Bada$$, Russ, Kid Sister, Raekwon, and Conway The Machine. Watch the “No Gold Teeth” video below.
