Black Milk, not to be confused with the Milkshake and Dessert Bar or the Clothing brand of the same name, is a Detroit-based Hip Hop producer and rapper. I first discovered the 36 year old when I heard his album "Sound of the City" around 2010. I later realised he was...
Sample Sunday is a Hip Hop quiz any Hip Hop head should know the answers to. Although, my girlfriend’s not as big of a music lover as me, it’s always interesting see her attempt to figure out the answers.
So how does it work? It's a Hip Hop quiz which sees me play a sample of a song, followed by it's reincarnation. If Rhian heard Lauryn Hill’s “Ex-Factor”, she’d have to guess what song would follow. The answer would be Drake’s “Nice For What”.

Simon Says GET THE F*** UP
Pharoahe Monch is easily one of my top five favourite emcee’s. His use of Soul music, mixed with witty, intricate and often dark lyrics make his music an easy go-to any time I’m stuck for ideas. His album “W.A.R.” is by far one of the greatest Hip Hop albums ever...
Love J Dilla [Dilla Month!]
Dilla is, hands down, the greatest artist for me. Since discovering him at the age of ~15, I’ve never gone a week without listening to at least one record featuring or produced Jay Dee. Whenever I’m bored of music, I always switch back to listening to some Dilla. The...
Feeling “HEATED” Listening to JAY DEE [Dilla Month!]
