Danger Doom (stylized as DANGERDOOM) was an American hip-hop supergroup composed of producer Danger Mouse and rapper MF Doom. The project was a collaboration with the Cartoon Network programming block Adult Swim. Their debut album, The Mouse and the Mask, was released in 2005 and integrated characters from animated series such as Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.[2]
Background
Danger Mouse and MF Doom had previously collaborated on "Social Distortion" from Prince Po's The Slickness, Danger Mouse's remix of Zero 7's "Somersault", and the track "November Has Come" from Gorillaz' second studio album, Demon Days.
The Danger Doom project was initiated by Jason DeMarco, the creative director of Adult Swim. DeMarco, a fan of both artists, approached Danger Mouse with the concept of an album that utilized the network's sound archives. Danger Mouse agreed on the condition that he could recruit MF DOOM for the vocals.[3]
