Apparently they have their own line of Camaro?? I think it’s safe to say this won’t be a touring act.
This is a very curious project, I wish the record was actually dope. I keep trying to like it, but it feels like it was made in 1 day, with anything tying it all together, simply having Black Keys run through some rudimentary jam sessions isn’t good enough. Great idea ………..

I’m with you. It’s got all the ingredients for something that should be spun all winter, but it comes up well short…especially RZA’s track ‘Telling Me Things.’
Take this down, or I will add you to the list of cease and desist letters from BlakRoc.
