Danger Mouse & Black Thought Team Up For Excellent Cheat Codes LP
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ethan Miller / Getty Danger Mouse and Black Thought are two artists who shouldn’t need much of an introduction except for the newest Hip-Hop and music fans. The pair released their joint album, Cheat Codes, on Friday (August 12) and the results are as ear-pleasing as one could hope. Cheat Codes is a reunion of sorts between the pair after they first worked together on the DANGERDOOM bonus track “Mad Nice” which surfaced from the Danger Mouse and the late MF DOOM’s The Mouse and the Mask album sessions from 2005. The project was some years in the making with an announcement of the album surfacing recently as 2020.

DaBaby “Tough Skin,” Royce Da 5’9 ft. Grafh “I Play Forever” & More | Daily Visuals 8.11.22
HipHopWired Featured Video The past year has been a struggle one for DaBaby as he found himself getting “canceled” on social media due to homophobic comments made last summer, but he’s taken all the backlash in stride as what doesn’t kill him can only make him stronger. Such is the concept in his latest visuals to “Tough Skin” where the controversial rapper finds himself tied to a crucifix (still iced out though) and tortured by some masked men who were probably involved with the storming of The Capitol on January 6th. Just sayin.’ Back in Detroit, triple OG Royce Da 5’9 continues to remind us that he’s one of the dopest MC’s in the game and for his Grafh assisted clip to “I Play Forever” holds his city down with some heavy bars and smooth flow. Give that man his flowers if you haven’t alr...
