How did you first meet Jim Jones?

Thanks man, we met a few times over the years. I booked him for my YoYo party in NYC back in 2008 and I’m friendly with a bunch of people in his camp. I was DJing a party and Jim was there hanging out by the DJ booth, we spoke a bit and he jumped on the mic, the rest is history.

“Whether it be physical or figurative, whether it be the Berlin Wall or a social stigma, sometimes there are dividing lines that separate what should be together naturally. BlakRoc does not smash those boundaries or break down those walls, it proceeds as if those boundaries never existed and acts accordingly. BlakRoc sets the drawbridge between forms of expression, Hip Hop and Rock by doing something as simple as putting the artists of different genres of music in one room and documenting as harmonious collaboration takes place. Backed over the soundscapes of indie rock superstars The Black Keys, BlakRoc brings elite hip hop artists to record an album like none other, an experiment with no control subject.”

BlakRoc will be available Nov 27th on iTunes and select music retailers worldwide.
