Now that
The Black Keys live here — and since ATL is just a hop and a skip from Music City — we’re going to go ahead and claim this one. It’s a perfect (semi-) local storm.
We told you before about how Big Boi thinks local turntablist Wick-It the Instigator is dope. Well, now there’s even more reason for a bromance to blossom between the two ballers (
It's started). Wick-It has mashed up The Black Keys’
Brothers and Big Boi’s
Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty — both of which are already getting a lot of love on year-end best-of lists (just ask
Grimey’s). Wick-It’s calling the project
The Brothers of Chico Dusty, and
you can hear all eight mash-ups over at Soundcloud.
See, Big Boi was already diggin’ on Wick-It’s “Black Bug,” a mash-up of The Black Keys’ “Tighten Up” and Big Boi’s “Shutterbug.” Now he’s got seven more tracks to geek out on. Particularly sick are “You Ain’t the Next DJ” and "Everlasting Shine Blockaz." Hear "You Ain't the Next DJ" below, and hear them all at Wick-It’s Soundcloud page or at Mashville’s Bandcamp page. Props to workin’ man Sean Maloney, who passed this one along to me.
