Black Milk - "Give The Drummer Sum"
09.23.2008
First single from forthcoming album Tronic
The Song:
Black Milk gives listeners the first taste of his highly anticipated new album Tronic with the lead single "Give the Drummer Sum." The track shows the Detroit phenom adding a new edge to his production. Black's ever-improving mic skills ride over live horns and hard drums on what's sure to be one of the most original and exciting hip hop singles of the year.
The Background:
In only a few short years, Black Milk quickly has become one of underground hip-hop's foremost ambassadors. Realizing his vast reservoir of talent, both independent and mainstream artists looked to Black to give their albums a raw underground sound. Black has since produced and appeared on tracks for an impressive roster of hip hop artists including Genius/GZA, Busta Rhymes, Pharoahe Monch, Kidz in the Hall, Kardinal Offishall, Guilty Simpson, and Strange Fruit Project, among others. Most recently, Black released two albums, The Set Up with Fat Ray, Black Milk Presents Caltroit with Bishop Lamont. Black also handed nearly all the production on elZhi's The Preface, an album that is making many critics' Top 10 lists for 2008 and bringing serious attention to Detroit's music scene. Black also produces and rhymes as a member of the ground Random Axe with Sean Price and Guilty Simpson and will release a full-length album in early 2009. TRONIC will be released on CD, vinyl, and digitally via Fat Beats Records on October 28, 2008.
