Another wild quislingism in the partner-heavy hip-hop underground, Danger Doom brought together producer Danger Mouse (Gorillaz, plus his possess hard publicized production life history) with rapper MF Doom (proprietor of a vi aliases, all with full-length releases). The record album The Mouse and the Mask found their talents interlock much better than seemed possible from the awkward charge. The Danger Doom project actually coalesced 18 months prior to the album's release, when the two agreed to begin running together via mail, with help on vocals from the toon characters of Cartoon Network's Grownup Swim shows. The long gestation full stop proved worthwhile when the album in the end appeared on Epitaph in October 2005.
