Danger Mouse teamed up with MF DOOM for an album, and more recently hooked up with Cee-Lo for the Gnarls Barkley project. Next on his hit list is Roots lyrical savant Black Thought.
“We’re in the middle of working on some material right now,”Thought recently revealed. “We got together a few months ago, before the whole Gnarls Barkley thing took off the way it did. So I’m not sure of how that’s gonna affect our project, but it’s still in the works.”
Thought said he’s not really sure of the album’s direction yet.
“You can never call it with Danger Mouse,” the Philadelphia showman smiled.

“I would call it a meeting of the minds. It would not be like me, Black Thought from the Roots, and Danger Mouse the producer — it’s us taking on two personas. I guess you get the gist of what he’s doing with the Gnarls Barkley and with the Doom record. It’s nothing like those two records, but in the same realm. We don’t have a working [album] title, we don’t even have titles for the songs. It’s very much a work in progress, but I’m feeling what it is.”
This is just another stop in the road for the Mouse, who has had a storied career with Jemini as well as Jay-Z and The Beatles, the follow-up album for the Gorillaz and production on tracks for Prince Po and Zero 7.
His latest work with DOOM and Cee-Lo have earned him recognition around the world especially across the pond as the single has broken records based on downloads alone.
