Celebrated producer and musician Danger Mouse and prodigiously talented New York rapper Jemini team up for their second collaborative album. Remarkably this soul and funk infused hip-hop tour de force arrived two decades after its creation and the duo’s debut LP, Ghetto Pop Life which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2013! 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, Born Again was released in 2013. The previously unheard record retains many of theelements 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 incredible artist “Knuckle Sandwich II”, “Brooklyn Basquiat”, living large and being am agnet for attention “Me”, Jemini also delivers highly-personal and occasionally devastating lyrics about missed opportunities and redemption “All I”, “Born Again”, his time in prison “Locked Up” and complicated relationship with his father “Dear Poppa”.

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.
