Danger Mouse and Black Thought have unleashed their latest single, “Strangers.” This thrilling new single sees the duo enlist hip hop A-listers A$AP Rocky and Run The Jewels.  It drops ahead of the duo’s album, Cheat Codes, due Friday, August 12th.

The track is a tour de force from Danger Mouse – one of the best producers in the world – and Black Thought, A$AP, El-P and Killer Mike – four of the best rappers around.

“We were honored to get down with our elite and legendary friends Danger Mouse, Black Thought and A$AP Rocky on this banger,” Run the Jewels shares.

Previously, Danger Mouse executive produced A$AP Rocky’s acclaimed album, AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP, and released “Chase Me” featuring Run The Jewels; “Strangers” finds him renewing those fruitful creative collaborations.

“Strangers” is the final pre-album single release from Cheat Codes and follows “No Gold Teeth,” “Because” featuring Joey Bada$$, Russ & Dylan Cartlidge, and “Aquamarine” featuring Michael Kiwanuka. Cheat Codes – which also features Raekwon, Kid Sister and Conway the Machine – is Danger Mouse’s first hip hop album since his The Mouse & The Mask collaboration with the late MF Doom, and follows Black Thought’s pioneering output with The Roots, sensational viral freestyle and acclaimed solo trilogy, Streams Of Thought.
