Danger Mouse & Jay-Z "The Grey Album"

The Grey Album is an art project/experiment that uses the full vocal content of Jay-Z's Black Album recorded over new beats and production made using the Beatles White Album as the sole source material. Danger Mouse insists he can explain and prove that all the music on the Grey Album can be traced back to the White Album and its musical content via sampling. Every kick, snare, and chord is taken from the Beatles White Album and is in their original recording somwhere.

This Incredible re-interpretation will be one to look out for and will be made available worldwide around Feb/March of 2004. The resulting record is a unique hybrid of work from one of hip-hop's fastest rising production stars via two of the most important musical and cultural forces ever.

In an incredible year, Danger Mouse has already received critical acclaim from his status as the Producer and DJ of the DM & Jemini duo. His work on their 'Ghetto Pop Life' debut showcased his enormous potential and 2004 will see Danger Mouse involved in several further projects.

Both the Beatles own remix project ('Let It Be... Naked') and Jay-Z's retirement Black Album are in stores now. At the time of writing, neither Jay-Z nor The Beatles were available for comment.

After his recent hit record 'Ghetto Pop Life' (Lex) with Jemini The Gifted One, it's time for DJ Danger Mouse to go solo for a minute again.

His new project is The Grey Album, an experiment in music that uses the full vocal content of Jay-Z's The Black Album, recorded over new beats and production created using The Beatles' The White Album as the sole source material.

DJ Danger Mouse explains that all the music on The Grey Album can be traced back to The White Album. Every single kick, snare, and chord is taken from the original Beatles recording.

The resulting album is a unique hybrid of work from DJ Danger Mouse, one of hip hop's fastest rising stars. This re-interpretation is already being touted as the one of the greatest remix albums of all time and is bound to be remembered as a 'must have' album of the year for collectors and critics alike. Given its underground street nature, it can only be found via select hip hop record stores and secret hand shakes.
