Black Milk

Black Milk is the project of Detroit producer and rapper Curtis Cross. He started putting out music in the early 2000s, with his debut album 'Sound of the City' arriving in 2005. The work is built around his own production, which often leans into soulful samples and gritty, intricate beats.

A track like 'Believe In Me' from the 2008 album 'Tronic' shows his approach, pairing a driving beat with straightforward, determined rhymes. Other songs in his catalog, such as 'Brain' and 'Difference', follow a similar path of dense production serving as the foundation for his verses.

He continued releasing albums steadily, including 'Album of the Year' in 2010 and 'Fever' in 2018. The music maintains a consistent focus on his dual role as the primary beatmaker and vocalist, with occasional contributions from other musicians on drums or turntables.
