The Grey Album

Danger Mouse · 2004

A 2004 experimental mashup by Danger Mouse, made from Jay-Z’s The Black Album a cappellas and samples solely from the Beatles’ 'White Album'. Released in a limited 3,000-copy run without Beatles permission. Framed as deconstructive labour — not remixing, but rebuilding using only those two sources.
