Ghetto Pop Life

When DJ Danger Mouse (DM) blew up with his Jay-Z-meets-the-Beatles underground project, The Grey Album, the furor around DM's illegal mix all but overshadowed the release of this full-length album with rapper Jemini. On Ghetto Pop Life you won't find the Fab Four rubbing sonic shoulders with Hova, but you will find DM's excellent production skills at play behind the adroitly flippant Jemini. The creative producer is willing to draw from everything from old '50s pop tunes to smoky funk, underscored by his intricate drum programming. Jem's presence is immediately felt--his distinct voice, acrobatic verbal skills, and quick wit make for a memorable combination. The album is mostly filled with playful bravado on songs like "Omega Supreme" and "Take Care of Business" (the latter featuring irreverent rapper J-Zone). Even a song like "Don't Do Drugs" flips on the standard public service announcement and manages to dish out sage advice with a lolling tongue. --Oliver Wang more
