Out Da Box TV comes through with their latest episode, and this one featuring Black Milk. We give this dude a lot of shine on OKP but it's well deserved. In this episode Milk speaks on a range of topics like the theme behind his new album Tronic, the ways in which J Dilla influenced him, and also the comparisons to the late great Dilla.
More Black Milk for your Thursday. Fat Beats hit OKP with the World Premiere video for "Give The Drummer Sum," the lead single off Milk's latest album, Tronic. This song really sets the tone of the whole album for me, so it was definitely a good look to make it the first video.
A few weeks ago at Southpaw in Brooklyn NY, Black Milk held his album release party. In this Vimby video from the night Milk speaks about his new record, Tronic. Other performers from the night including Skyzoo, Torae, Folk&Stress, and U-N-I, also speak about Milk and his contributions to the game (I see a Shamz cameo in there too). Tronic is in stores now. Check back with OKP for our exclusive interview with Black Milk next week.
October 24th, to close out a night that featured Diz Gibran, Folk&Stress, U-N-I, and DJ Revolution, Black Milk took the stage with Pharoahe Monch during what was one of the last events at this year's CMJ. It was my first time seeing Milk perform live and as a big fan of his music, he definitely did not disappoint. In the above clip Black Milk brings out Monch to perform their song "The Matrix" (sans Sean P who is also on the track) off of Milk's Tronic album, in stores now. After that, Monch performs his Black Milk produced song "Let's Go" off of his last album, Desire.
We really should have found a way to mention that Black Milk's album,Tronic, hit shelves yesterday. After one listen, Tronic is already on my top albums of the year list. Luckily the homie Sweeney put together this mix that gives us a reason to mention Milk again today, as well as a few other MC's with albums out now or coming out soon. The mix features Black Milk, Elzhi, Madvillain, Flying Lotus, Pharcyde, Exile, and more. So download CDRADIO TWO, and be sure to check for these artists' respective albums when they drop.
I've got to say Black Milk has really stepped up his spit game tremendously, while still maintaining his spot as one of the nicer producers out there. Don't believe me? Check the latest leak "Losing Out" featuring Royce Da 5'9" off of his upcoming LP, Tronic. Royce, as always (in my opinion), blacks out on this one. Shout out to FWMJ for the heads up.
Everyone (myself included) went nutzo for that Black Milktrack we premiered featuring Monch, Sean P, and Premo two weeks ago. So here's some more from the man Black Milk to hold y'all down untill October 28th when his LP Tronic drops. The mixtape, Elec (presented by Fat Beats & HHDX), is a compilation of his work from his last LP, Popular Demand , up untill now. As tight as Popular Demand was, this dude is showing a lot of growth on the new album. Follow me after the jump for the tracklist and dl link for Elec.
When we first got the tracklisting for Black Milk's October 28th release Tronic, a few of the songs jumped out at us, but none as much as this one. The song is called "The Matrix" and it features DJ Premier on the cuts, Pharoahe Monch and Sean Price. It doesn't get much more serious than this. This song and the first song we leaked are already worth the cost of the whole LP.

After watching the behind the scenes to this I was real curious to see the final product of our man Torae's video to "Switch." The song was produced by Black Milk and is off of Tor's Daily Conversation tape. The video, directed by Science Projects, is dope and has cameos from Tanya Morgan and Marco Polo. See for yourself.
Black Milk's latest album Tronic is dropping October 28th. We were really lovin' his last LP Popular Demand, and are anxious to see how this one measures up. Here is the first single off the project titled "Give The Drummer Sum."
