Music site Jambase.com has chosen Black Milk’s Popular Demand as a runner up for their album of the month.
Says Chris Pacifico:
Curtis Cross (aka Black Milk) loves making beats with his Akai MPC2000 XL so much that he’s holding it on the cover of his much-anticipated debut. Having already worked with and produced the likes of Pharoahe Monch, Cannibus, and the late, great J Dilla, Black Milk is on the same ship with Slum Village, Guilty Simpson and, of course, Dilla – artists who are to Detroit’s burgeoning hip-hop scene what Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins and Derrick May where to the Motor City’s techno movement nearly a quarter century ago. Produced, mixed and engineered by Cross, Popular Demand is suitable for banging out the party jams or just kicking back with Milk’s verbal current – a flow that’s up-in-your-face but laidback enough to dive into and break down what he’s rhyming about. As for the beats, the bass gurgles like a hungry stomach with an abundance of sampled, pitched-up soul melodies and guest spots from that shine from emcees such as Phat Kat and Fat Ray. Got, Black Milk?
