The Gnarls Barkley collaborationism didn't bring in producer Danger Mouse to the tiptop of the British charts for the low gear sentence, only it did gull his debut as the pilot film of a hit record. Mouse, born Brian Burton, low gear gained the ears of piercing listeners when he concocted
The Grey Album, a bootleg that mashed the vocals from
The Black Album by Jay-Z with music samples courtesy of
The White Album by EMI flagship the Beatles. Although the label posted a cease-and-desist order, one of their employees, Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz, was one of the impressed, and he hired Burton to make the beats for the second Gorillaz album,
Demon Days. Just one class afterward, Danger Mouse was back in the charts with another coaction project, Gnarls Barkley, with singer Cee-Lo Green (a solo artist and former member of Atlanta's Goodie Mob). The pair had met in Atlanta in the late '90s, and began recording together around the time of a 2003 DM criminal record highborn
Ghetto Pop Life. A few recordings were passed round and played by many associated with the pair, and eventually one of the leaked tracks, "Mad," became a hot place for the download securities industry. It became the low gear single vaulted to the top of the British charts by digital distribution, and the resulting record album,
St. Elsewhere, peaked at number one on the album charts. An American release followed deuce weeks afterward.
