The Blakroc Sessions
Blakroc is the imminent album featuring blues duo the Black Keys collaborating with hip-hop heavies like Mos Def, RZA, and Raekwon. And because nothing says "unlikely rap-rock side project" like a customized sports car, you can also buy an all-black-everything Blakroc Chevy Camaro the same day the album drops this Friday, November 27. This is real.
According to a (unintentionally?) comical press release on the car's official website, "the BlakRoc Camaro has been equipped with sleek, stylish accents that tie in with the BlakRoc brand." Considering all the flash and talk of "branding," we get a feeling Blakroc guru Damon Dash may be behind this glossy bit of synergy. And why not?! For those interested in buying one of these sleek vehicles-- USB port included!-- they're only on sale at Carl Black (!) Chevrolet in Atlanta and Nashville.
Note; I personally think The RZA/Black Keys collaberation would have been the way to go, therefore giving a bit more focus. Getting the RZA involvement in this project is genius, as he is THEE badass producer for anything he touches.(see jarmash's Ghost Dog, the Kill Bill series and of course his Wu Tang library. Also the use of the Nord Lead Elctro 2 instrument can only be a positive thing.
The Camaro is is a 'Gear-Head/Rock'/ Rap culture thing/ creepy marketing and machismo I could do without.(i guess an electric car would not project the muscle image...maybe someday an EV WILL inflate testeroserone levels? Maybe give it a super sonic sound effects to boost the feel?)
