We’re the elder statesmen at this point, so I feel like this record is reflective of that too.”Black Thought added that the album – which features; A$AP Rocky, Run The Jewels, MF DOOM, Michael Kiwanuka, Kid Sister, Joey Bada$$, Russ, Raekwon, Conway The Machine and more – is “a return for [Danger Mouse] to hip-hop and to sampling in this way”.The announcement comes alongside the album’s first single, ‘No Gold Teeth’, a razor-sharp cut that hears Black Thought deliver a lyrical clinic over Danger Mouse’s dizzying backdrop.You can watch the song’s hypnotic video, directed by UNCANNY, the UK-based creative duo of George Muncey and Elliot Elder, above.01. ‘Sometimes’02. ‘Cheat Codes’03. ‘The Darkest Part’ (feat.
