Black Milk: “Losing Out” (Featuring: Royce Da 5’9″)
First off let me say Holy Shit! Here we are less than one week away from the release and I have heard three singles off of Tronic. I am already thinking this will probably be top 5 contender for my personal favorite album of the year. For all of you out there on the Kanye West tip, you need to get off it and start listening to Black Milk. This guy is one of the best producer/emcees I’ve ever heard. His flow on Popular Demand was liquid smooth, but his rhymes and flow are starting to get vicious. I want everyone to mark my words when I say “Black Milk is the future of Hip-Hop and production”, he is going to be a household name soon enough. It’s just a matter of time until the D (and all of Michigan) blows up on the Hip-Hop scene, because they arguably have some of the best talent in the game right now (Elzhi, Buff1, One Be Lo, Royce Da 5’9″ ) and Black Milk will be the tip of that spearhead.
This beat has a sick ass sample and Black just tears the shit out of this beat like a piece of paper. Royce has his poignant (as always) flow and the two torch this track like a Philly blunt with a butane lighter. Before the track starts Black says “Everybody gather around and listen”, that’s exactly what everyone is going to be doing when they hear Black. His first line is “Let’s talk about the most under-estimated plus underrated city in this Hip-Hop game?”. I couldn’t say it much better myself, Detroit Hip-Hop is HIGHLY underrated and it’s a damn shame.
October 28th folks, that is the day that it will all change. Go and get Tronic this upcoming Tuesday, it is going to blow everyone away.
Listen to the track.

I couldn’t describe Tronic much better myself. Keep pushing Milk and just give it time.
