What do you get when you mix a cat and a dog? Catdog. What do you get when you mix a rhino and a horse? A unicorn (duh). What do you get when you mix The Black Keys with some of hip hops best talent? Blakroc. Blakroc is a rock/rap group that guest hosts a multitude of different rappers over The Black Keys funky, blues/jam sounds. The brainchild of Roc-a-fella C.E.O Damon Dash, he contacted the Keys at first because he was a fan of their sound. Dash got them in the studio with 11 artists, and 11 days later the first CD was recorded. Their first album, Blakroc, released in November of 2009, included appearances from Raekwon, RZA, Ludacris and Mos Def. The CD was well received by the public and got to number seven on billboards' rap albums list. The newest CD has been confirmed, but for now holds the dreaded "COMING SOON" release date. Artists on the new CD, simply titled Blakroc 2, include Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Talib Kweli, Jim Jones, and the Cool Kids. This preview video has a great feel to it and I'm excited to see what all this talent is capable of. I don't know when coming soon is, but I'm hoping its sooner than later.
