Cheat Codes by Danger Mouse and Black Thought

Hands down, Cheat Codes is the best rap album in the last five years. Danger Mouse’s production is on point, as always. Black Thought is one of the best MCs out there; I’m glad his gig in Kimmel’s show band leaves enough time to create something worthwhile. The album is delightfully old-fashioned without sounding too much like it was made during the boom bap era. It’s modern hip hop, but it sounds old. I’m old, hence I’m loving Cheat Codes.
