While you’re here picking up your new Black Keys album this week, you might want to grab a copy of BlakRoc while you still have the chance.
By now you should be well aware of this Black Keys/hip-hop collabo, but if you’re not, BlakRoc features The Black Keys laying down some heavy, beat-driven blues-rock behind an all-star cast of mainstream and underground rappers. It’s been a store favorite since it arrived last November, and our exclusive version — the only version on the planet with the Ludacris/ODB track “Coochie” — is on the verge of selling out. As of May 18, we have 17 copies on CD and 2 on vinyl.
Translation: Get it while you still can. Those numbers are all that remains of our allotment of the coveted first pressing, which is exclusive to indie music stores, limited in number and no longer available for reorder. That means that once our stock is gone, it’s gone for good. No one else, not even iTunes, has this version, and “Coochie” won’t be included on subsequent pressings of the album.
Snooze or lose, sucka.
