Black Thought and Danger Mouse have released the second single from their long-awaited collaborative album Cheat Codes. Over dark and bluesy production from Danger Mouse, "Because" offers up gritty, compelling verses from Black Thought, Joey Bada$$, and Russ, and a hook from Dylan Cartlidge. Check it out below.
Joey Bada$$ said, "I’ve always been a big fan of Black Thought and Danger Mouse. I think Black Thought is one of the greatest rappers ever, so when they asked me to get on this record, it was a no-brainer, plus the record is fire! I still remember the first time I heard 'You Got Me' the video was shot on my great-grandmother’s block and I was actually there that day when I was a child. It changed the way I looked at music. I’m very honored to be a part of this track. We’re making history!"
