For all of his myriad of projects, Jack White’s sound has never veered far away from his guitar-centric blues rock roots. So you’d be forgiven for raising an eyebrow at the news that White’s Third Man Records is releasing it’s first hip-hop single by Detroit MC Black Milk, and might even be shocked to hear that White co-produced the songs while adding guitar to the A-side “Brain” and drums on the B-side “Royal Mega.”

Both tunes were recorded live at Third Man headquarters in Nashville, and feature a seriously funky horn and percussion backing that sounds like something White would get into after all. You can check out “Brain” here, and hear “Royal Mega” on Black Milk’s website.
