“For the Keys, the collaboration was an adolescent dream come true. “We listen to a lot of straight up hip-hop and lot of old soul records,” Auerbach says. One soul group in particular is Memphis heavy funk act Blackrock. “They had a song called 'Yeah Yeah.' I played that song for Damon one night and he just kind of flipped out. I played it for Mos Def and he flipped out,” Auerbach says of the instrumental track that essentially provided a backbone to the project. “The idea was that we would do something raw and sorta heavy — that sort of music with rhyming on top of it.” The song would essentially inspire the name of the project. “When we were figuring out what we wanted to call it, we loved the Blackrock track. Us being the Black Keys, Damon had Roc-A-Fella Records — it was just like 'Let's call it BlakRoc.'” “
