Critical Praise for Black Milk:
“As the performance soared into a free-form jam, it was apparent that Mr. Cross and the band had succeeded in pushing the music far from the boundaries of any single genre.” – Wall Street Journal
“Black Milk’s solo career represents a constant cycle of adopting and mastering new production styles and then abandoning them before they become crutches.” – Pitchfork
“His samples are elegant, his rhythms challenging and his drum kits tight.” – NPR
“Cross has no need for these extras; in his world of soul-tugging productions and machinegun-as-velvet delivery they are merely distractions. On this realization, and in the moment, it was hard not be floored by the obvious: this is what talent with genuine poise really looks and sounds like.” – Dallas Observer
“Striking an impressive balance between being rehearsed and spontaneous, he proved his chops as a multitalented artist once again.” – Okayplayer
The Tour:
Black Milk announces 30 US tour dates with his band Nat Turner in support of his new album, FEVER. Pitchfork praised the album saying, “FEVER continues the Detroit rapper/producer’s expanding live hip-hop jazz-band tradition and leans into psychedelic neo-soul in the process, something like P-Funk meets the Ummah.” After concluding the first segment of Europe dates in May, Black will head to the West Coast in June to begin the first leg of the US run, hitting LA, San Francisco, Portland, Las Vegas and more. The second leg will begin in July and include shows in Boston, NYC, Chicago, DC, Atlanta, and more, before concluding in Black’s hometown of Detroit where he’ll play two back-to-back nights. To accompany the tour announcement, Black Milk shares a Fever Tour playlist on Spotify, featuring songs from FEVER next to old and new favorites from Kali Uchis, Parliament, SiR, Steve Lacy, Mick Jenkins, Danny Brown, J.I.D., KAYTRANADA, Khruangbin, and more.
