Recorded at MegaHurtz in Vancouver Canada

Detroit United States

They don’t come much more ‘motor’ than _(artist-name)Black Milk_. Just growing up in Detroit is a lesson in beat making itself, but young Curtis took to producing like kids to a cookie jar, laying down tracks for _(artist-name)Elzhi_ and the mighty _(artist-name)S Villa_ at the tender age of 18. Since then, he’s constantly developed as an artist. He’s replaced his childhood hero, the late _(artist-name)J Dilla_, as the main production force in _(artist-name)Slum Village_ on two of their strongest albums (as part of _(artist-name)B.R. Gunna_). He’s delivered ferocious-yet-soulful tracks to artists as varied as _(artist-name)Pharoahe Monch_, _(artist-name)GZA/Genius_, _(artist-name)KRS-One_, _(artist-name)Buckshot_, _(artist-name)Skyzoo_, _(artist-name)Dwele_, and just about every relevant MC to emerge from the D throughout the past five years. He’s formed a group called _(artist-name)Random Axe_ with fellow fan favourites _(artist-name)Sean Price_ and _(artist-name)Guilty Simpson_, which carries the hopes of a whole generation of true-schoolers, despite only having leaked a couple of unfinished track to the web to date. And he has, of course, released several solo album that have seen him go from promising underground beat cat to full-fledged artist, seriously competing for the _(artist-name)Diamond D_ Appreciation Society’s honorary title of best producer on the mic. The Milkman cometh, and the wackness goeth!
