Tough and heavy like the RZA produced Wu-Tang albums that inspired The Black Keys at their start, these tracks will surely have you nodding your head in time. The spontaneous and honest garage psychedelia of The Black Keys provide a perfect backdrop for these lyrical stories to unfold. A haunting feeling to the record is only enhanced by the ghost of ODB.
This album is proof that hip hop and rock can be blended into something greater than the sum of its parts.
Also, for those interested in the process, The Black Keys fan lounge features a great series of behind the scene webisodes as well as interviews and more about the recording and production of Blakroc. Check them out here.
