Blakroc new album entitled "Blakroc ".
(Rated at 4/5)
“Wisely, Blakroc – a rough'n'ready project comprised of white blues duo the Black Keys and a roster of MCs, including the RZA, Mos Def and, from beyond the grave, Ol' Dirty Bastard – take things right back to basics. The premise is simple, but effective. The Black Keys knock out a lo-fi riff, the rappers strut about, sticking to the themes that have preoccupied both bluesmen and MCs throughout the years, notably sex, heartbreak and cash. Star turns include Ludacris and ODB leering all over Coochie, and R&B singer and former Missy Elliott protégée Nicole Wray swaggering through Done Did It, with help from Baltimore newcomer NOE, whose Jay-Z impression is so spot-on he could well be the hip-hop Alistair McGowan. The loose, spontaneous nature of the exercise means there's the odd dud, but there are far more hits than misses. The result? A dead concept is temporarily revived.”.

“Australian-born, Reykjavik based Ben Frost seems to be aiming for the common ground between Bjork at her most crystalline and Metallica at their most monolithic”.”.

King Midas Sound new album entitled "Waiting For You".
(Rated at 4/5)

Recommended track to download..... ‘Cool Out’
