As our own Steve Mcgillivray reported last week, up and coming MC Freddie Gibbs is set to release a brand new EP - titled Str8 Killa - on August 3rd. Of the tracks included is a rather eclectic collaboration called "Oil Money", which features the Gary, Indiana native teamed up with fellow rappers Bun B, Chip Tha Ripper, and The Cool Kid's Chuck Inglish as well as Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach - he does know a thing or two about hip-hop after all . Stream the track below, then grab [...]
Well here's a collaboration I didn't see coming. From Los Angeles-via-India rapper Freddie Gibbs comes this incredibly smooth jam featuring The Cool Kids ' Chuck Inglish, UGK's Bun B , and The Black Keys ' Dan Auerbach. That's right, the guitar wielding half of the Black Keys lends the hook to "Oil Money" while Inglish and Bun B spit some of their best verses to date alongside the up and coming Freddie Gibbs. "Oil Money" was produced by Blended Babies and also featured a verse by Chip Tha Ripper. You can grab Freddie Gibbs' upcoming [...]

While I can't help but miss Pat Carney's familiar drums, the other Black Key turns in a cool solo effort. I guess one Black Key is better than no Black Keys.
Muchos seguidores y críticos de The Black Keys aseguran que las raíces de la banda nacen en el blues y si bien ellos no lo negaron, revelaron que la verdadera influencia en su sonido proviene del hip hop . El grupo de Ohio le dio una entrevista a la gente de Independent y se rieron de la gente que ridículamente dice que ellos tocan música que viene del blues o que, muchas veces, lo es. El frontman Dan Auerbach comentó que cuando él escucha sus [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Video , Exclusive They may have gone back to the basics , but the Black Keys ' new album 'Brothers' certainly taps into a T. Rex vibe at times, a bit of a new direction for the Ohio-bred blues duo. "I think that [Marc Bolan] was kind of copying the same stuff that we were," Keys guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach admitted to Spinner at a recent Interface taping in New York. But let's be clear: no one's going to be [...]

Jessica Lea Mayfield's 2008 debut, With Blasphemy So Heartfelt is one of those rare albums that is able to successfully stretch so much out of so little. A generally sparse affair, Blasphemy is largely built around Mayfield's sweetly sincere drawl and simple acoustic guitar work. The album is uncluttered by flash and excessive flair, leaving the 19-year-old Ohio native Mayfield free to wryly deliberate upon a past romantic encounters. An EP preceded the album, but she first came to a wider awareness when she was featured on the Black Keys [...]
Letters in the Deep is Cadillac Sky's latest album and is on general release on June 8th, if this is what get when you take five talented multi-instrumental vocalists with a bluegrass background and put them in a studio with an indie blues rock multi-instrumentalist / producer who tells the band to embrace the here and now and "let the songs be what they are going to be", then I for one want more as the result is an honest to goodness organic concoction of transcendental music to rival the recent releases from The Avett [...]
It's a high praise to the writers of Friday Night Lights that even with a practical episode like "A Sort of Homecoming," which is meant to set up next week's tear-jearker ("The Son"), they still managed to make a vital episode in the show's canon. Part of what makes "A Sort of Homecoming" work, in spite of its perfunctory purpose, is how a couple of interesting themes tie the episode together. First is the odd duck "wingman" theme, where one character is accompanied by another in a surprising way. The alpha-male [...]
Though my Twitter feed was blowing up today with links to the new Black Keys video for Brothers ' "Tighten Up," I assumed people were simply discovering Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney's dinosaur puppet-starring YouTube video to the tune, which hit made the rounds last month. Just clicked through, however, when lo and behold: a brand new killer video from the Akron duo. In this "Tighten Up" video treatment, Auerbach and Carney bring their sons to a local playground where the boys serenade girls to the Black Keys' latest single. And [...]

While Frank the Funkasaurus Rex held it down with the unofficial videos for "Tighten Up" and "Next Girl," The Black Keys have decided to nix the extinct reptile and throw their "kids" into the mix. Follow the link to watch the full video and keep scrolling for the making of "Tighten Up." WATCH :: The Black Keys - "Tighten Up" - [ OFFICIAL VIDEO ] ----------------- Oh yea [...]
"Tighten Up", the first single off The Black Keys' brilliant new album Brothers , is all about the desires of love. The song's newly unveiled music video takes this notion one step further, illustrating at what costs (aka showing off) guys are willing to go endure in hopes of getting the girl. There's whole lot to like in this clip, particularly due to the band's decision to utilize its kids. We get to witness Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney's respective sons compete for a young lady, which ultimately leads to a [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive For their sixth album, 'Brothers,' the Black Keys -- Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney -- got back to basics and recorded everything themselves. Except, that is, for the grooving soul cut 'Tighten Up,' which coincidentally reteamed the Akron indie blues duo with Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse , who produced their 2008 LP, 'Attack and Release.' "Nothing about this album was deliberate," Auerbach tells Spinner about the [...]

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Though they may not be related, the relationship between Akron's Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach is as close a bond as you will find. When they link up, things just seem to fall into place; even here on their latest, following a 2 year hiatus from 'The Black Keys' proper. In the time following the polarizing Attack and Release in 2008, Auerbach has released his critically acclaimed Keep It Hid , Carney released an album with his side [...]
Jay Mattson covers his favorite songs of the year so far. Although the year is not even halfway over, there has been enough great music to warrant a recap of sorts this early. MP3s include work by Liars, Plants and Animals, Gigi, Crystal Castles, The Black Keys, Band of Horses, The New Pornographers, and Yeasayer.

Ah, yeah! You can now listen to The Black Keys' new album, Brothers , over at NPR before it hits the streets next week. So far, it's sounding like the Keys' most focused and textually diverse album. Who knew that between Carney playing in Drummer, Auerbach touring behind his debut solo album, and both dudes working on Blakroc that they even had time to make another Black Keys album after releasing and touring behind Attack & Release -- let alone an album so soulful and terrific. It's heavy on the r & b with that one of [...]
Rock So Hot It Melts Your Face The Black Keys have returned from some unexpected side projects with a winner. I've had a copy of Brothers for a few weeks and in typical new 'Keys record fashion, it's been in heavy rotation. There are a few remarkable influences in this record, and as fate would have it, I am grateful to have been well-prepared for my first listen of Brothers after a long spell of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke tunes in the past months. Because I think [...]
