STOKED to see the field marshal of the Wu-Tang Clan, the RZA, still making music. Especially when it's with the Black Keys, a generally bad ass--but occasionally disappointing--blues-rock band. The band is collaborating with various black people (Mos Def, Jim Jones, etc.) to make a rock-rap album called Blakroc. The album will, inshallah, not join the ranks of other rock-rap albums. In all serious, it should be awesome. The project has 7 videos up on youtube and the best is, not surprisingly, RZA's. Pitchfork has a track from Mos Def here. What made you think the guy who engineered 36 Chambers wouldn't have the best song on this album?
Also, there's something to be said about the name of this project. Blakroc? As in black people making rock music? Just sayin'.
No excuse, the black man must stand up. Time to make the Wu-sign, throw both yall hands up
