[Pitchfork.com] To promote the upcoming Black Keys hip-hop LP, Blakroc-- featuring Mos Def, RZA, Raekwon, Q-Tip, Ludacris, Pharoahe Monch, and more-- there's a making-of video series currently underway on the Blakroc website leading up to its release November 27. (Via Done Waiting.)
In the first episode, we see rap impresario Damon Dash scrunching his face to a Black Keys beat and outlining an amusingly ambitious marketing plan for the project before calling Mos Def to lay down some vocals. Then there's a priceless shot of Mos listening to a beat bellowing out of a car in the middle of Williamsburg. (Sunac, holler!) The second episode shows Mos vibing out in the studio.
The overall "when worlds collide" vibe is potent, and kinda fascinating. Check out the Blakroc Sessions videos below:
