Danger Mouse

Real Name: Brian Joseph Burton

Danger Mouse's [i]The Grey Album[/i] is considered a landmark in rock/hip-hop fusion, which featured a "mashing" together of vocals from Jay-Z's [i]The Black Album[/i] with beats created from The Beatles' [i]White Album[/i]. The project, although met with a cease-and-desist order from EMI, pushed the producer into the international spotlight.
He has since embarked on a series of notable collaborations, working with rappers such as Gemini and underground superstar MF Doom, and finding platinum-selling success with Gnarls Barkley and Gorillaz (producing the latter's second album, [i]Demon Days[/i]).
