The Odd Couple

The union of hip-hop and rock has often been a tumultuous one that's yielded some less than favorable results, but the 2009 release of Blakroc is an exception. Project co-founder Damon Dash recruited the Black Keys for their soul-infused brand of rock and hip-hop talents such as Mos Def, Raekwon, RZA, Q-Tip, Ludacris and even obtained a verse from the late Ol' Dirty Bastard's short Roc-A-Fella stint. The finished product is a seamless blend of hard, echoing riffs and eclectic flows from some of hip-hop's elite.

The project received moderate success, thus spawning a 2nd Blakroc album which will feature The Cool Kids, Curren$y, Jay Electronica & Wiz Khalifa to be released at a later date. But for now, this surprisingly compelling mash-up will prove to be a worthy addition to any library.

Rolex Daytona Meteorite

Rolex adds an intergalactic spin to their classic Daytona collection with the Daytona Meteorite. The piece sports iconic Daytona characteristics with a 4 billion year old Meteorite face. Some 12,000 years ago, a Gibeon Meteorite found it's way to the surface of the Earth, landing in rural Namibia. The martian artifact was discovered in 1846 and before becoming protected under Namibian law, Rolex had an opportunity to secure some of the more striking pieces for their collection. Retails for just under 30k with the Meteorite dial retailing for 5k itself. Pricey but about as unique as wrist-wear gets.
