Sounds interesting. Can't wait for it to come out."Full link here":http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/47843-the-black-keys-reveal-danger-mouse-produced-album-"..while in theory, the thought of a Danger Mouse-produced Black Keys record brings to mind a bunch of electronic beats and sound pastiches slapped on stripped-down garage rawk, it's a credit to Danger Mouse as a producer that he m...

Dame Dash: “My assistants, who are now actually A&Rs, were going to a Black Keys concert for their birthday and I wasn’t invited,” he explained. “Usually on their birthdays we all do it together and the reason why I wasn’t invited was because the concert was sold out . And I had never heard of The Black Keys and I was like y’all still gonna go without me. And they was like ‘Yo it’s

The BlacRoc album drops this Friday, November 27th. You can stream the whole album here.Whether it be physical or figurative, whether it be the Berlin Wall or a social stigma, sometimes there are dividing lines that separate what should be together naturally. BlakRoc does not smash those boundaries or break down those walls, it proceeds as if those boundaries never existed and acts accordingly. Bl

Good news for fans of odd collaborations – a honey bunch of rappers are teaming up with the boys from the Black Keys for a hip hop meets rock project they’re calling “Blakroc”. The slate of lyricists set to join the guitar rock heroes includes Mos Def, Pharoah Monch, Q-Tip, Rza, Raekwon, and more.

The Black Keys feat Jim Jones and Mos Def – Hoochie KooMost people were sorta shocked when I included the Black Keys in my Top 40 Albums of 2008 post. I don’t know why. The Keys’ last album, which was produced by Danger Mouse as a precursor to a never realied collaboration with Ike Turner, [...]

This group should be called "Eleven," and not Blakroc. Eleven artists, eleven days in the studio, and probably +1 better than 10/10 rating. Just when you thought that Ohio had solidified itself as a source of good music with The Black Keys and Kid Cudi--out comes Blakroc the newest super group album since N.A.S.A. TwentyFourBitNews gave me the heads up on the album planned to be released the da...

Dan Auerbach is apparently sick of all of the aggravation and pressure and headaches and crowded quarters and groupie-theft and ego-fights that inevitably ensue when touring with such a garishly large and unwieldy ensemble as The Black Keys.
