Lex finally reissue this stone cold classic LP, unavailable on vinyl since it’s original release in 2003. I genuinely cannot stress how good this album is, copies go for silly money on discogs. Do not sleep on this or you will regret it!
Ghetto Pop Life is a collaborative studio album by Danger Mouse (Dangerdoom, Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells, The Black Keys, Gorrilaz and so much more) and Jemini The Gifted One. Originally released on Lex Records in 2003 it has been out of print for a number of years and is now being reissued to coincide with the release of Born Again. Featuring guest appearances from tha Liks, J-Zone, Prince Po, and the Pharcyde.
AllMusic gave the album **** “Evocative without being pointlessly nostalgic and fun without being goofy, Ghetto Pop Life is a convincingly strong debut”. Dom Passantino of Stylus Magazine gave the album a grade of "A", calling it “not only one of the best albums of the year, but also possibly the strangest”.
Pitchfork placed it at number 37 on the "Top 50 Albums of 2003" list. The Guardian named it the 19th best album of 2003. In 2017, ThoughtCo included it on the "100 Best Hip-Hop Albums of the 2000s" list.
