Black Milk

Detroit Rapper/Producer Black Milk, In-Studio

Soundcheck | Mar 7, 2018

The rapper and producer Black Milk is based in LA these days, but he’ll always be associated with Detroit... with Detroit producers like the late J Dilla, and Detroit rappers like Danny Brown. Black Milk (Detroit-born and bred rapper, composer and producer Curtis Cross) seems to be able to make beats and build songs from some of the most unlikely sources, keeping full creative control from composition to mix and master. On his latest record, Fever, he tackles topics like the social media, injustice, religion, relationships, and he’s here to perform some of these songs, in-studio.
