Blakroc is a hip hop album produced by the Black Keys that features Rza, Raekwon, Mos Def, Jim Jones, Pharoah Monch, Q-tip, Ludacris, ODB, Billy Danze of M.O.P., Noe and Nicole Wray. The album was released November 2009 on a label started by Dame Dash and The Black Keys management.
I've heard about the project back in September 09. It wasn't until now that I finally got a chance to check it out. The creation of the album was documented in intimate detail. Watch Dame Dash close the deal with Black Keys in episode 1, the rest is history.

Clay Shirky on Cognitive Surplus
Clay Shirky has noticed the trend of talented people putting five or six hours an evening to work instead of to waste. Add that up across a million or ten million people and the output is astonishing. He calls it cognitive surplus and it's one of the underappreciated world-changing stories of our time.

Blu- Amnesia (Video)
Dope video with some vintage clips. Never got into the homey Blu, but this tracks sounds smooth.
Blu offers a mysterious video for “Amnesia”, a track
from his equally cryptic album disguised as a mixtape,
Her Favorite Colo(u)r, a torrid collection of songs
about love, loss and confusion.

T.Shirt x Darvin Silva Presents The "Tan Face-Children EP"

The homey T.Shirt is no doubt an illrapper.com. I had the pleasure of linking with him for a promo track "I Won't Go". I got a feeling this kid going to do good things for Hip Hop.
His new EP "Tan Face-Children" produced by Darvin Silva is definitely an ill production. I appreciate the innovative art the two are bringing to the table.
T.Shirt:
"There's nothing better than making something with your friends. Sometimes, I just gotta forget about the outside world listening in and remember who I really made this for first and foremost. When I've rapped for myself in the past I never got the kind of response I wanted.. it's only when I rap for us.. when I take how I feel, ... I think J Cole said it best, "My story ain't the only one I'm trying to tell" - that shit just rang so true to me. We are the tan-face children. We are the pioneers. Maybe you have to know all of us to understand.. maybe it gives you a familiar feeling."
