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 , Blackroc, is slated to be released Nov 27th and can be purchased here at indie stores nationwide. You Colorado kids can pick up the release at Independent Records or Twist and Shout on BLACK FRIDAY!
Actually, Blakroc will be an indie-store-only piece! Pick it up at your local record store on 11/27!! For you Coloradoans, check out Independent Records and Twist & Shout for your copy.
Thanks for the heads up!
