The Black Keys are teaming back up with Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Dame Dash for BlakRoc 2, the sequel to the group’s 2009 release.
Though a release date is yet to be announced, a promotional video for the album has been released, revealing a lineup that includes Talib Kweli, Jay Electronica, O.C., Curren$y, Wiz Khalifa, U-God, Jim Jones, Sean Price and The Cool Kids.
Check out a trailer for the album below (via PrefixMag).
[September 1]
UPDATE: Despite a trailer hitting the Internet earlier this month, The Black Keys have quashed any notion that BlakRoc 2 will be released. During an interview with WZGC 92.9 FM (via Consequence of Sound), Keys’ Patrick Carney denied that the album will see the light of day anytime soon.
“Blakroc 2 is not coming out soon, although somehow a trailer that was made two years ago without our permission and then recirculated without our permission,” he said. ”We have stuff recorded for it — about eight songs that I guess are done — but those were all recorded two years ago. So there are no plans for Blakroc 2 to be released as an album.”
i’m looking forward to this, last album was pretty cool
Oh. My. God. Curren$y, Jay Elec, Sean P, kweli, Cool Kids?!?!?!?!?!?!!?? Sounds soooooo dope
I hope theres some wu on there like the last one. Either way, black keys gonna bring it.
aw HELL YEAH! I can always skip the wiz khalifa track…
Can’t fuckin wait!!! the first blakroc album was the dopest and most slept on album to come out in 2009, i still bump it.
JAY ELECT REIGNS SUPREME
Who the fuck is O.C.?
If you don’t know O.C. from DITC you fail hard. Go listen to Word…Life, one of the most slept on albums by one of the most slept on rappers of the 90s.
If youe saw Eight Mile you have heard his music. The one beat you constantly heard them freestyle on was OC, called “Times Up”. “Jewelz” was his best album imo..
Study your HipHop, lil boy!!
Save the kids!!!
wow. do your homework before you come up commenting on a hip-hop site ya new-jack bitch
Is there a release date yet?
Cannot wait. That first one is classic.
U-God will be an instant skip track though.
what dude
u – god probably killed it harder than you think man
he is perfect for this shit
his voice is awesome man he been killin it lately
listen to legendary weapons bro
hopefully it comes out on black friday this year
Should be crazy….The Black Keys are sick. And the 1st BlackRoc cd went in…. Keep up the good work Dame!
oh damn 🙁 this is an unfortunate update
This sucks, the first project was great..it brought the best out in some of those artists who were involved like Jim Jones..I don’t think I have heard from NOE since that album…..the hang up is probably money, Dame Dash is in big trouble financially..just a guess on my part.
i’ll give him my money just put that shit out
NOOO!!! Dammit! I was waiting for Blakroc 2!!!! I hope it does get released one day…..
NOOOOOO!!!, The 1st one was dope, the 2nd one was gonna feature Jay Electronica?!?!?, dammit, why they cancel it???
cause it’ll take him a year just to do 1 verse lol
WHYYYYYY =(
First one was mad underated. Ghostface Killah would sound sik over some live instrumentation though.
Yes he would
Singh oiiiiii!!!!
Thats a damn shame…
NOOOOOOOOOOO
That’s too bad. The first album wasn’t perfect but it was mad overlooked. Had some hot tracks on it.
i bet its cause dame ripped them off the first time around
for great underground hip hop, news, discussions, and interviews with artist follow on twitter @RadioRebels
aaahhhh nooooo dammnniit
this was the greatest thing i had heard it such a long time
and now it’s not true
i feel used and abused
this sux
i was already telling everybody gettin exited
sounded like it could’ve been better that the first one
curren$y u-god kweli ahaaahhhaaa damnit
electronica cool kids all of them nooooo
please some one make these tracks surface in some form or fasion
i just wanna hear em man
them white boys probably think the tracks are trash or something and just don’t know what they have
i’m sure it would sell enough copies to cover expenses
mix that shit put a damn picture on it and a price tag and soon
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Fuck you Black Keys! I want 2! They should just release the eight that they have and call it good.
The Black Keys love giving their fans awesome music, so if they’ve already got 8 songs done and the fans are demanding it… why not finish it?
Love the first one. Really disappointed by this news
