The Black Keys, one of my favourite blues/rock bands of modern days have invited some of the best rappers around (RZA, Pharoahe Monch, Mos Def....) to drop some knowledge over their new raw instrumentals with incredible results.
The 'Groovement' blog has listed all the youtube videos from those blunted studio sessions in one of their recent posts so go check it out HERE.

'The rhythm' selected for Carbon Logic's 'Grassroots LP'





A few months ago I signed up to the Carbon Logic website, uploaded some of my tracks and entered their 'Grassroots Dubstep' competition.
Last month the 3 judges Nick Argon, Bun Zer0 & Twisted, selected the final 15 and my track 'The rhythm' was one of them.


The comp is out in March and all the profits will go to 'Love Music Hate Racism'.

Another track of mine called '6' was also selected by Bun Zer0 for his Carbon Logic Podcast, grab it here.
