RH Reviews: Black Keys//Brothers
The Black Keys released their 8th LP, Brothers, (not counting BlackRoc) on Tuesday May 18th. Brothers follows the aforementioned BlackRoc, which saw The Keys team up with Dame Dash for a rock/Hip Hop fusion album featuring the likes of Q-Tip, Mos Def, Rza, Rakewon, and others. It also follows solo releases from front man Dan Auerbach as well as drummer Patrick Carney. The list of experiences between The Black Keys' 7th album Attack and Release and Brothers seems to have made an impact on both musicians, as Brothers is perhaps their most far-stretching album to date.

The Choice Is Yours Mixtape
Complex and Vitamin Water put together this three track mixtape that is all about Lebron James. Literally, it's all about Lebron James with each verse dedicated to reasons why Lebron James should sign with The Bulls, The Cavs, The Heat, Knicks, or L.A. The emcees on the front cover rep their respective cities and state their respective claims. Mikey Rocks reps Chicago, which according to ESPN is the front runner to land the coveted free agent. Time will tell on that front.

Lil' Wayne: "Da Da Da" Video
Remember when The Simpsons had an episode where Homer's barbershop quartet featuring Barney, Principal Skinner, and Apu reunited for a rooftop show? That was cooler than this new Lil' Wayne video for "Da Da Da". At least it's cooler in my opinion. But, one shouldn't knock everything that went into this video and there is some inherent coolness in just being in a position to be able to do what Wayne did here. See it below.
