Our Ghetto Pop Lives

Before Dangermouse blew up on the pop scene, he made a fantastic album with NY rapper Jemini the Gifted One. Jemini suffered the disappointment that so many up and coming emcees face in the mid-nineties after the deaths of 2Pac and Biggie, having his debut album shelved by the record companies who wanted more dumbed down, gangster-image dance records.

But as luck would have it, London-based producer Dangermouse was a fan of his work and contacted Jemini to show him some of his beats and offered to collaborate on a project. Their product was one of the best throw back albums of the 2000 era. Jemini features a high pitched voice with infectious hooks while Dangermouse layers the grittiest, chopped up drum breaks over lush, orchestrated samples.
