Having shown enormous promise as an inventive beatmaker who can handle a microphone (although none of that’s translated into unit sales), Black Milk is reaching the make-or-break point with the highly-anticipated Tronic.
While the production is tight, it’s not going to cause rival producers to sell their samplers and look for jobs in air conditioning repair. And once Black Milk is finished dealing with the sorry state of hip-?hop, haters and the old art-vs.-commerce question, he quickly runs out of relevant rhymes as if nothing worth discussing were happening in politics, race relations, religion, individual rights, the economy or the environment at the moment.
Black Milk and Elzhi (of Slum Village) hit Revival November 6.
