Cheat Codes

Cheat Codes stands as an absolute towering achievement of modern East Coast boom bap and sample heavy alternative hip hop. Emerging in 2022, this magnificent collaborative album captures iconic producer Danger Mouse and legendary Roots frontman Black Thought operating at the absolute absolute peak of their creative chemistry, forging a sonically rich environment that feels both deeply nostalgic and entirely fresh.

The musical framework of this record is exceptionally sophisticated, balancing heavy, low end drum breaks and soot coated basslines with smeared orchestral strings and moaning vintage organ loops. Driven by flawless lyricism and incredible guest appearances from Conway The Machine, Joey Bada$$, and Raekwon, every track on this album overflows with artistic integrity, sharp storytelling, and timeless rhythmic density. For listeners who appreciate the intelligent, loop based artistry of classic independent hip hop, this spectacular vinyl pressing offers an absolute essential listening experience from start to finish.
