Black Milk - Tronic

In posts gone by I've alluded to my former hip-hop-head self: those glory days of early high school where I would spend hours in my basement furiously downloading every underground rap album Napster had to offer. Fast-forward to the present tense and I still have an enormous soft spot for hip-hop, but am long out of touch with the genre's current output. This neglect feels legitimized each time I check out a newish rap record and am left really, really, unsatisfied, but since Monday night--when I stumbled onto a preview of Black Milk's latest and second full-length album Tronic and nearly wet myself--I'm begining to think that maybe the joke's on me.

This guy's beats bang so hard. One taste of the tracks below and I'm betting you'll be as fanatical as I am about this up-and-coming producer/emcee from Detroit. Seriously. He's that dope.






a great review of Tronic on coke machine glow.
