The Black Keys have recently finished recording their seventh studio album and the follow up to their smash hit "Brothers" LP, but in more exciting news the duo have announced that they have once again teamed up with Damon Dash to resurrect the "BlakRoc" project and release the sequel "BlakRoc 2". To say I'm excited about this news would be a true understatement, but it's good to hear this is in the pipeline as 2009's "BlakRoc" album was one of my favourites. The Black Keys blues-rock production is perfectly suited to having MC's rock over the top of it, but they have to be the right MC's. With BlakRoc 2 set to feature some of today's best rappers including Talib Kweli, Curren$y, Jay Electronica, Wiz Khalifa, U-God, The Cool Kids, Jim Jones, OC and Sean Price, I think The Black Keys have got it right again. Personally I'm definitely most excited about the Jay Electronica, Curren$y, Talib Kweli and The Cool Kids features and can't wait to hear how those tracks turn out. No release details as of yet, but stayed tuned to The Benjamins as more details come to hand. Check out the BlakRoc 2 trailer after the jump.
