Two of the best albums of 2010 get the mash-up treatment by Wick-It The Instigator.  The two albums in question are The Black Keys’ Brothers and Big Boi’s Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, which combine to create the slick Big Boi-approved, The Brothers of Chico Dusty; an 8-song mash-up project you can download for FREE!
