Mass Appeal

Rapper, MC and hip-hop producer from Detroit, Michigan. Black Milk is known for his unique blend of soulful beats and introspective lyrics. With a career spanning over a decade, he has established himself as one of the most influential artists in the underground hip-hop scene.

Black Milk's music draws inspiration from various genres including jazz, funk, and electronic music. His production style is characterized by intricate drum patterns, sample-based melodies, and gritty basslines. He has collaborated with a diverse range of artists such as *Elzhi*, *Skyzoo*, and *Guilty Simpson*.

In addition to his solo work, Black Milk is also a member of the group Random Axe alongside fellow Detroit natives *Sean Price* and *Guilty Simpson*. Together they have released critically acclaimed albums that showcase their lyrical prowess and chemistry as a collective.

Black Milk's sixth solo rap album, and his first since 2014's If There's a Hell Below, FEVER combines pointed and topical lyrics and brilliant musicianship, including percussion from all-star musicians Chris “Daddy” Dave (D'Angelo, Adele, Justin Bieber) and Daru Jones (Jack White), bass by long-time collaborator Malik Hunter, and keys and guitar/bass from newcomers Ian Fink and Sasha Kashperko, respectively. Black Milk evolves his production style of fusing electronic, soul, rock and other soundscapes with electronic programming and live music, a method he began experimenting with on his 2010 release Album of the Year. A cohesive 12-track project, listening to FEVER evokes the feeling of scrolling through an endless news feed, finding Black Milk reporting and commenting on the world's problems with empathy, clarity, and wit. Additional vocals from Dwele, Aaron "Ab" Abernathy, and Sudie (a producer / vocalist signed to Black Milk’s Computer Ugly label) serve to juxtapose Black’s heavy lyrical content with airy vibes.
