Rap-rock makes a bangin' comeback

What do you get when you mix the bluesy-70s-esque rock stylings of The Black Keys with the aged-to-perfection hip hop know-how of impresarios Damon Dash and MC Jim Jones? Blakroc, that's what. This genre hybrid project is no Bloodhound Gang: the Keys are giving rap-rock a full-on makeover. The album, which comes out November 27, features such legends as Mos Def, RZA, Raekwon, Q-Tip, Ludacris, Pharoahe Monche, and the late ODB. Phew. Listen to a little sample here, and get pumped.
