New Black Keys album Brothers due out May 18th.
Sounds to me like graduating from the Blakroc project did the Akron boys some good.

The Black Keys’ 2008 album, Attack & Release, received praise from The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, the Los Angeles Times, and MOJO, which called the album, “…rich with melody and driving power.” The band will support Brothers with a tour that includes a sold out performance at Central Park’s SummerStage in New York City on July 27 (additional dates will be announced soon).

Interview with Fool’s Gold’s Sammy Bananas
![14552_1205551385057_1416810214_30573862_4155389_n[1]](http://www.donewaiting.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/14552_1205551385057_1416810214_30573862_4155389_n1.jpg)
MP3:Kid Cudi, Kanye West, & Common-Make Her Say (Sammy_Bananas_Remix)
Sammy Banana’s is playing at Bristol Bar this Friday along with CJ Townsend, and DJ Dan from Paradise Garage. He puts out music on Fool’s Gold Records (A-trak, Kid Sister, Cool Kids etc). The New York Native dejays all-around the globe.
I met Sammy in the beginning of November. Dood booked Columbus’ CJ Townsend to play at Piano’s in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
I was in the city, hanging out with Pat, and Mike of the Carney family
We met CJ and Lil Franz up at Piano’s because it was CJ’s 21st bday. (if you know me, ask me about me getting really drunk and stomping on a grown man’s feet, and trying to run his pocket because I was confused of his intentions and didn’t like how he looked in general)
Sammy played classic New York rap half the time, and house the other half.
CJ and Sammy sampled Gucci Mane’s adlib “Burr” “Burr”,and would press a button that would repeatedly make this adlib audible at random intervals whenever they felt like it.
Regardless of what music they were playing.
Be it Golded Era Hip Hop, House, New Jack Swing, Electro or Fidget R+B.
Even though we were drunk in NYC, it felt like we were in Columbus.
Sammy really likes R+B and New Jack Swing. He is huge fan of the 90’s. So I figured I’d quiz him on his preferences.
In Living Color or SNL with Chris Rock?
In Living Color. I like the Fly Girls.
Living Single or Family Matters?
Neither.
Living Single was was the show that Friend’s appropriated for white people like Elvis and Family Matters had Urkel.
Definately didn’t watch Urkel.
Family Ties or Alf?
Alf. I’m fond of Aliens. I’m a a big XFIles fan.
Haha..perfect…Fresh Prince or Independence day
Independance Day is a good movie. But I’m going to go with Fresh Prince.
But Independence Day had aliens.
I said I like Indepedence Day. It is a good movie. But Fresh Prince captured the 90’s, Fresh Prince had juxtapositions that allowed for comedic events to transpire.

MP3: Blakroc ft. Mos Def “On the Vista”
MP3: Blakroc ft. Mos Def – On The Vista
This is the Mos Def – Blakroc jump-off.
Hype is building on this album set to drop November 27th.
Blakroc even got a MSK endorsement
Blakroc: Video of Rza Recording With The Black Keys.
Remember when Black Keys were in Mass Appeal Magazine alongtime ago?
(I read it at a Books A Million in Lafayatte, Louisiana during the process of stealing the Espo book, “the Art of Getting Over”. I had already placed the book in my pants, and was flipping through magazines to ensure no one was following me.The article was about how this Akron band really liked the Wu-Tang Clan. So I stole that magazine too by curling it up and sliding the periodical up my shirt sleeve. Kinda risky but it was an impulse theft.)
Flash Foward a decade later.
Black Keys doing a Hip Hop album, Blakroc, with a zillion legends.
So Rza walks in the studio and says, ‘can I play some awkward guitar licks for y’all to build off of.’
Black Keys ,” sure!!”
So just as a fan, its kinda bugged to see Rza play guitar, rap and smoke weed with the Arkon band. Enjoyed watching the video throughly.
below is what is what one of the songs with the RZA sounds like. Also features Pharoach Monch of Organized Konfusion/ “Simon Says Get the fuck up” fame.
Blakroc comes out November 27th.

Video of Black Keys Recording With Mos Def
You peeped Blakroc.com,yet? They have webisodes of the making of the Blakroc album.
From webisode 1, I learned that Dame Dash keeps pretty indie rock girls around like every true Hip Hop visionary should in 2009, and we also find out that Jim Jones takes awhile to craft his songs. I guess smoking weed and threatening to give bouncers wedgies disrupts a man’s concentration.
Webisode 2 documents the mighty Mos Def’s recording session with the Midwest’s best, the Black Keys, for the Blakroc project.
Lock-in!! Blakroc drops November 27th.

MP3: Blakroc (Black Keys x Jim Jones x Mos Def) “Hoochie Coo”
Photo Credit:Danielle Kline from last years Jim Jones show. Not to be confused with the one I am mentioning in this blurb.
MP3:The Black Keys ft. Mos Def and Jim Jones – Hoochie Coo –
Dipset shows in Columbus, and Jim Jones in paticular were always an interesting spectacle throughout the duration of the crews artist thug -in-residency here in the C-O because there was always an feeling in the air that admidst that there may be some sort of animosity in the room.
