Mos Dub

After hitting it out of the park last year with Jaydiohead, then whiffing with Jaydiohead: Encore and Doublecheck Your Head, Max Tannone is back and hit a triple and is rounding the bag for home with Mos Dub.

Yeppers, Mr. Tannone has mashed up up Mos Def with dub Reggae and the effect come together like chocolate and peanut butter. There isn't a missed opportunity on the 10 tracks. If you're uninitiated with Mos, there is no better way to get to know him. If you know him, get to know him in a different way.

I Said Hi My Name Is Mos

On my daily post I do for DC9 I mentioned the Black Keys are doing a hip-hop album. It's kinda surprising, but, kinda not. They seem like a band hip-hop guys would be into instead of Radiohead and Coldplay... which a lot of them are.

Anyhoo, as you can see in the above vidie Mos Def is taking part in the project and it makes me all kinds of giddy. I've been a fan of Mos for a while and I dig the shiz he does on the first track. I also find it amusing when he tells Dan Auerbach he's been a big fan of their for a while and Dan says "Since college?" Funny shit, Dan.

The collabo (that's what the kids call it, right?), Blakroc will be out drop November 27.
