BlakRoc ft. Mos Def, Q-Tip, RZA, Raekwon, The Black Keys Drops On Black Friday

Damon Dash’s BlakRoc project (previously featured) pairing rockers The Black Keys and many NY hip-hop artists including Mos Def, Jim Jones, Raekwon and Q-Tip, releases a full length album on “Blak Friday”, 11/27/09. We like what we’ve heard so far, check the two tracks we’ve posted so far, and cop the whole album while you’re out trying to get the Justin Bieber Golden Ticket or 94% off an Xbox, (but only if you buy it between 4:07 and 4:08 AM, also buy a frying pan and underwear, and you are dressed like Lady Gaga).
