[09.14.2009]Mos Def, Jim Jones & The Black Keys – Hoochie Coo
Author: montrey
The winds are a changin’. Rock and Hip-Hop collabs are definitely not new but there is a rise in rock/hip-hop collabs as of late. The recent collaborations have been amazing but I definitely didn’t see this one coming. The Black Keys have teamed up with Jim Jones and launched a new project called Blackroc. Their debut album will carry some heavy weight with guest appearances from artists such as: Mos Def, Q-Tip, Raekwon, the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard, RZA, Ludacris, and Pharoahe Monch to name a few.
The track posted here is called “Hoochie Coo” and this track definitely showcases the amazing power that can be brought with a hip-hop/rock colloboration. Got some nice rock-esque drums and then you got the lyrical flow of Mos Def and Jim Jones and you got a hot track. Also there is a video trailer of the album below. Check them out below:

[...] Just heard this on the Hype Machine while listening to a little Mos Def –a pretty BA collaboration between Jim Jones and the Black Keys featuring Mos Def. The album will come out in November and features a lot of other hip hop artists. Should be pretty sweet. The blog I got this from is a great site which I’ll add to my list to check back on.Source: http://www.earmilk.com/2009/09/14/mos-def-jim-jones-the-black-keys-hoochie-coo/ [...]
