Black Milk

Black Milk is a master of beats and rhymes, renowned for his top-flight production, insightful lyrics and thrilling live shows. Far from your typical rap act, he has steadily added new sounds and styles to his repertoire while working with a diverse group of collaborators, from Jack White and Robert Glasper to his own band Nat Turner (Aaron "Ab" Abernathy on keys, Z Horton on drums and Malik Hunter on bass). As a producer, Black has held down his hometown of Detroit for over a decade, working with the city’s top talent including Danny Brown and the legendary Slum Village, who gave him his start on their album The Trinity. On his own, he’s created a catalog of solid solo rap albums: Popular Demand (2006), Tronic(2008), Album of the Year (2010), No Poison No Paradise (2013) and his latest If There's A Hell Below (2014). In 2014, Black Milk toured the US as an instrumentalist and made his Boiler Room debut in London. With his band, he played more than 65 cities across North America and Europe in 2015 on his Play Like Hell World Tour.
