Super-producer Danger Mouse and the Roots rapper Black Thought have announced their collaborative album. Cheat Codes is out August 12 through BMG, and the video for lead single "No Gold Teeth" is out now.

The album's stacked feature list includes A$AP Rocky, Run the Jewels, MF DOOM, Michael Kiwanuka, Joey Bada$$, Russ, Raekwon, Kid Sister and Conway the Machine.

"No Gold Teeth" finds Black Thought rapping over a vintage-sounding beat that takes a minimal approach to live-band soul. The accompanying video, directed by UNCANNY, uses machine learning to superimpose all sorts of images over Black Thought's face. See the video below, and Cheat Codes' tracklist below that.
