Blakroc: "Hope You're Happy" f. Billy Danze, Nicole Wray and Q-Tip (MP3)

Q-Tip kills his part of "Hope You're Happy," the new Blakroc single, outshining the shouting contributions from Billy Danze and Nicole Wray, which shouldn't be surprising, since dude is, apart from Mos Def, the only rapper who sounds totally natural over the earthy tones of the Black Keys' restrained blues. The Blakroc project is shaping up nicely, but I haven't heard anything that has rocked my socks off quite like Black Keys albums.

The Blakroc Project is due out on Nov. 27.
