The Black Keys rock hip hop, meet Blakroc
I’m a big fan of The Black Keys so I was pretty excited when I heard about their new hip hop project, Blakroc. The Black Keys are known for gritty, bluesy rock with a serious edge and their style translates very well into the world of hip hop. A rock hip hop blend has never sounded as good. It looks like the entire process of the collaborations was filmed and will be aired as a web-series on the official website. Also looks like Damon Dash was a big part of the whole project connecting the Ohio based band with hip hop artists from across the country. The webisodes and forthcoming self-titled album (due November 27th), features Mos Def, Q-Tip, Rza, Raekwon, Ludacris, Jim Jones, Pharoah Monch, and more…
