For those that thought that the year was over and no more relevant releases were going to be released, may I bring your attention to Blackroc . The unlikely collaboration between the native sons from Ohio ( the Black Keys) and some of the world's best MC's (Mos Def, ODB, Ludcaris, RZA, Jim Jones) brings grimy instrumentals with grimy lyrics to formulate one polished product. The Damon Dash project isn't overproduced and the mutual admiration of all parties involved is felt on the breath of every word and sticky guitar lick. The S/T album , [...]
Les Black Keys nous font toujours des surprises. Mais celle ci est de taille. Dan Auerbach et Patrick Carney, les deux compères vintage-rock de l'Ohio, ont décidés d'inviter la crême du hip hop américain sur leur compos blues rock bien grasses ! Au menu : Pharoahe Monch , Reakwon et ODB (Wu-Tang), Q-Tip (A Tribe Called Quest), Billy Danze (M.O.P.) ... ... exemple avec Mos Def et le "Diplomates" Jim Jones : [...]

The Black Keys will release an album's worth of collaborations with some Hip Hop icons (RZA, Raekwon, Q-Tip, Mos Def, and Ol' Dirty Bastard to name a few) on Nov. 27th.

If that isn't a story in itself - well, it is actually... read it here - the Blakroc tale has developed a bit of a twist. So, what are your bets on who is on board to release this album? Perhaps a forward-thinking independent rock imprint with a bit of cash? Or a major label with [...]
Tuesday, September 15, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: Some details on Medeski, Martin And Wood's Radiolarians: The Evolutionary Box Set have emerged. Apparently, it will contain all three albums from the series, a feature length DVD, bonus tracks, unreleased live material, remixes and vinyl. Wow. Get it on November 24. I remember reading some rumors about the Black Keys working on something hip hop related, but I didn't think they were legit. Well, as if to scold me for not being a [...]
Yes, you read that right, Jim Jones (yup, this Jim Jones) and The Black Keys are teaming up as Blakroc to bring you a collabo album for the ages. The project, spearheaded by the Keys, Damon Dash, J. Jones and the Keys' manager, features a ridiculously impressive guest list including...well, ...
