Juno Records | Even on the troubled streets of Detroit, Black Milk has been steadily delivered through these rough economic times, providing an original, distinct concoction of different R&B ingredients for fans needing an escape. 2008′s Popular Demand proved to be one of the sleeper hip hop gems of the year, seeing the rising star collaborate with legends like Pharoah Monch and others. With the new release of Tronic, the listener hears Black Milk improve on his already vintage sound, incorporating a series of new influences and new collaborations, and showing up fresh at record store doorsteps across the rest of the country. Now to go overkill with the milk metaphors: B.M. may prove to be a bit of an acquired taste, but its eclectic flavor is already proving to have what the hip-hop star predicted would be a longer shelf life. One of the better hip-hop releases out now, check it out.
