Black Milk – “Sunday’s Best/Monday’s Worst” (Video)
October 8, 2013
“This video means a lot to me for few different reasons. One, it was cool to have some of my family members in the video. Also, shooting footage of the house I grew up in and spent my of my life in brought back so many memories of all of the music I recorded there, from ‘Sound of the City’ all the way through ‘Tronic.’ It was my first time being behind the camera as well and is probably my best video yet.”
– Black Milk
An excellently seamless blend of two outstanding tracks from what promises to be an outstanding project – Black Milk’s upcoming album “No Poison No Paradise” (due out October 15, 2013) – this is the video for “Sunday’s Best/Monday’s Worst.” The album boasts guest features that include Dwele, Quelle Chris, Black Thought (of The Roots), and jazz pianist Robert Glasper. If you visit this site and listen to the Beatz & Lyrics show frequently, you know Black gets press and play over here. Respect man. Respect.

September 24, 2013
“Hold up / How you go from ‘being on’ to having no riches / Hoes all in your phone to having no b!tches / Used to be high roller now look how you sittin’ / Thinking that your life is over out here trying to make a living”
Alright, the song is “Dismal.” Detroit (Michigan, USA) Hip-Hop producer/emcee Black Milk, in prepping for the release of his LP “No Poison No Paradise” (due out October 15, 2013), leaks track number 9 off the project, “Dismal.”

Don Cheadle x Black Milk – “H8DES” (Short Film)

Vanity Fair tapped Don Cheadle to produce a short film for its ongoing series, The Decades. Don, in turn, tapped Black Milk to produce the score.

Black Milk – “Perfected On Puritan Aveâ€
August 14, 2013
Definitely a head nod track to start, this “Perfected On Puritan Ave†drifts into a lofty break… then breaks into a high-energy brass and beat jazz number for a sec… then calms back down and floats away in the end. It’s a mental and instrumental ride for the listener. Take a listen; and keep an ear out for Black Milk’s LP – “No Poison No Paradise” – due out October 15, 2013.

Black Milk x Pen – “Computer Ugly Ugly/Why Worry”
April 8, 2013
“Computer Ugly Ugly/Why Worry” is a quick slick blend from Black Milk’s “Synth Or Soul” instrumental project (due out April 20, 2013) – first of the instrumental/art series Fuzz, Freqs & Colors (FFC). FFC is the first project launched by the new creative house Computer Ugly. You can listen to the blend and pre-order the full-length below.
Interesting music born from an interesting process – each volume starts with producer Black Milk and illustrator Upendo “Pen†Taylor (Nike, Leroy Jenkins, Gatorade) trading beats and sketches and refining their works along the way (e.g. the music is shaped by the visual art and the visual art is shaped by the music).

Black Milk – Demo Beats 2012
December 7, 2012
Detroit producer & emcee Black Milk took to his soundcloud page to release some of the beats he’s cooked up for 2012 for his fans’ audio consumption. It’s about time we heard something from Black Milk who seemed to be rather quiet for most of the year. I’m still hoping he drops an official song & video for that ‘Don Cornelius’ joint he teased us with a while back. After listening sitting here listening to these instrumental demo joints, the track that catches my attention the most occurs around the 2:50 mark. That’s that gritty Detroit hip hop most of us fiend for. Black Milk has to stop disappearing like this. I’d like to see Black Milk put out more videos from past albums while in between projects to hold fans over until the new stuff is done. Until he does I guess these demo instrumentals should suffice for how.
