From the upcoming Blakroc album, pairing Black Keys with a whole bunch of rappers.  The first single with Mos Def and Smedium Jones didn’t grab me.  This one is much better, although still not quite up to what it could be. Both RZA and Monch seem comfortable with rock as a backdrop, yet neither really performs to full potential. RZA doesn’t go weird enough, a left field project like this might have benefited from a nod to his Bobby Digital or even (dare I say) Gravediggaz days. Monch just doesn’t do enough here period, his verse should have been at least longer and he could have feasibly tried a little harder too. It’s a good song, but it just misses a chance to be a great one.
