Danger Mouse, Jay-Z
The Gray Album (LP, Red Vinyl)

Listening notes

This 2021 red vinyl pressing of The Gray Album, credited to Danger Mouse and Jay-Z, was issued on Gray Boy, Ind under catalog number RM 00186. The release spans twelve tracks across two sides, catalogued under the genres boom bap, experimental, hip hop, and pop.

Side A opens with "Public Service Announcement" at 2:45 and continues through "What More Can I Say," "Encore," "December 4th," "99 Problems," and "Dirt Off Your Shoulder," the last of which runs just under four minutes. Side B carries six additional tracks: "Moment Of Clarity," "Change Clothes," "Allure," "Justify My Thug," the brief "Lucifer 9" at 2:01, and the closing "My First Song," which at 4:44 is the longest individual track on the record.

Total runtime across both sides, calculated from the listed durations, comes to approximately 44 minutes and 36 seconds, a runtime that fits comfortably within standard LP parameters.

The red vinyl format distinguishes this pressing visually from a standard black disc. Beyond the colored vinyl and the 2021 release year, the available data does not specify pressing quantity, country of manufacture, or whether this was a limited or open edition. Prospective buyers and cataloguers should verify those details independently before drawing conclusions about scarcity or collectibility.

The attribution to both Danger Mouse and Jay-Z is noted as catalogued, though the nature and authorization of that attribution falls outside what the available data can confirm. This draft has not been reviewed for accuracy and should be verified against primary sources before publication.
