He grew up with the generation that saw J Dilla as a model, and his productions reflect this influence. He first rose to national attention with his contributions to Slum Village's fourth self-titled disc. Along with fellow Detroit producer Young RJ, Black Milk formed BR Gunna. The duo released <I>Dirty District: Vol. 2</I> on Barak Records in June 2004 to critical praise. Black Milk released his solo debut <I>Sound of the City</I> in 2005, which was followed by the <I>Broken Wax</I> EP in the fall of 2006. Though it's unfair to call Black Milk a Dilla clone, there are several stylistic similarities between the two, and with Dilla's demise in early 2006, hip-hop devotees tried to anoint Milk the heir to his throne. He didn't disappoint. <I>Popular Demand</I> came as somewhat of a revelation in 2007. Sparse, lo-fi and sublime, it cemented Black Milk's reputation as a master of hard drums and electro hip-hop. 2008's <I>Tronic</I> further expanded his palette, pulling from pop, neo-soul and revivalist boom bap. - Sam ChennaultThe Midwestern Basementen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:34:55 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10545237&rws=%2Fblack-milk%2Fmusic-videos.rss Detroit rapper Black Milk is one of the most promising young producers in indie hip-hop.
