November 2009 blessed us with one of the most interesting projects in music in the last years. Co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, Damon Dash pertenerd with blues-rock band The Black Keys and came up with "Blakroc". A collaborative album between The Black Keys and various Hip-Hop artists.
Album guests include Raekwon, RZA and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard of the Wu-Tang Clan, Jim Jones and NOE of ByrdGang, Mos Def, singer Nicole Wray, Pharoahe Monch, Ludacris, Billy Danze of M.O.P., and Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest.
The album was generally received well by consumers and critics. The album reached Number 1 and Number 7 on the US Billboard Heatseakers chart and US Billboard Top Rap Albums respectively. Nick Neyland of BBC music stated in his review "this is a surprisingly compelling and welcome rejoining of the rap and rock worlds that successfully captures the off-the-cuff nature of the recording sessions.
It's really a unique sound and a fine piece in every Hip-Hop collection.
