Black Thought & Danger Mouse take over Times Square in their music video for “Because.” Featuring Joey Bada$$, Russ and indie vocalist Dylan Cartlidge, the single comes from Black Thought and Danger Mouse’s debut collaborative album Cheat Codes which releases next month.
In the CGI music video, Black Thought, Joey Bada$$, Russ and Dylan Cartlidge perform on mega-LED screens in Times Square, along with a POV character’s smartphone screen. As Cheat Codes marks Black Thought’s latest album since Streams of Thought, Vol. 3: Cane & Able in 2020, the album will also be Danger Mouse’s first hip-hop project since collaborating with the late MF DOOM as part of Dangerdoom.
