Danger Mouse & Jemini - Born Again (Vinyl)

Danger Mouse & Jemini - Born Again (Vinyl)

Celebrated producer and musician Danger Mouse and prodigiously talented New York rapper Jemini are gearing up to release their long delayed collaborative album, Born Again on Lex Records. This remarkable soul and funk infused hip-hop tour de force arrives two decades after it's creation and the duo's debut LP, Ghetto Pop Life which celebrates it's 20th anniversary this year.

Enthused by the response to Ghetto Pop Life, soon after Danger Mouse and Jemini began to tour and to write and record Born Again. Finally, having been recorded two decades ago and indefinitely shelved until now, Born Again will finally be released to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of Ghetto Pop Life. The previously unheard record retains many of the elements of Danger Mouse and Jemini's debut; the fun-loving, shit-talking innocence, but also adopts a noticeably more introspective and confessional tone.

This time, in addition to lighthearted topics such as being an artist , living large and being a magnet for attention, Jemini also delivers highly-personal and occasionally devastating lyrics about missed opportunities and redemption, his time in prison and complicated relationship with his father. His effortless free flowing cadence and indelible sing-song delivery elevate each track with a melodic infectiousness whilst Danger Mouse exhibits an affinity for resonant instrumentals built from sampled organ, vibraphone, or guitar loops and infused with his trademark minor key magic. The result is a classic, timeless hip-hop record.
