Black Milk is the face and voice of the new generation of Detroit hip-hop. His second album, Popular Demand, is so highly anticipated that it unfortunately has been leaked a month before it was supposed to hit the streets. To combat the leak and make sure people go out and actually buy the album, Fat Beats Records will be including a bonus CD of previously unreleased vocal and instrumental tracks.
We at britishhiphop.co.uk are really excited about an upcoming album by an artist you may not know about yet but should. He is a producer and an emcee - his name is Black Milk. He's been buzzing about on the underground for a minute now. In fact, you may actually know about him already - If you're like me, you like to dork out when you get a new album by rushing to read the liner notes. And if you own a recent Slum Village album, then you know about Black.
Though still in his early twenties, Black Milk has been a rising talent both as a producer and as an emcee within the Detroit hip hop scene for several years. Following the untimely deaths of J Dilla and Proof (D-12) in 2006, hip hop fans all over the world are anxious for a new generation of hip-hop artists from the Motor City to carry the torch for its fallen heroes. Black Milk isn’t asking to carry the torch; he’s already running with it.
