Album Description

Born Curtis Cross in 1983, Black earned his stripes both locally in his native Detroit and on a national level from his associations with Slum Village.  After getting his first production credit for "What is This" on SV's sophomore album Trinity in 2002, he went on to produce much of the popular group's next two albums both individually and as part of the production team BR Gunna, with whom he also released the album Dirty District, Vol. 2.  It wasn't until his self-released debut solo album Sound of the City in 2005 did he begin to achieve notoriety as an emcee, and it was off the strength of this album that he signed his first record deal with Fat Beats Records in 2006.

Upon the release of his Popular Demand album in March 2007, Black Milk instantly became one of underground hip-hop's foremost ambassadors.  In addition to becoming a go-to producer for beats on an independent level (he's placed beats on projects by Genius/GZA, Guilty Simpson, Kidz in the Hall, Strange Fruit Project, and many more), he's also worked with major label artists like Pharoahe Monch, Kardinal Offishall, and Busta Rhymes.  He's also recently released two albums on his own Music House imprint (Fat Ray's The Set Up and Black Milk presents Caltroit), handled most of the production on the acclaimed album The Preface for Elzhi from Slum Village, and produces and rhymes as a member of the group Random Axe (with Sean Price and Guilty Simpson) who have a full length album scheduled for release in early 2009.

His new album Tronic shows that Black has grown tremendously as a producer, as he's adopted more live instrumentation and is introducing more complex arrangement than his previous sample-heavy work.   He also shows marked improvement as an emcee and carries most of the album himself with only 3 guest verses on the entire album (from emcee royalty Pharoahe Monch, Royce Da 5'9", and Sean Price).  Also appearing on Tronic are a diverse group of players and vocalists that include Dwele, rising star Colin Munroe, and the legendary DJ Premier.  Not even two years removed from his breakthrough release, Black Milk proves on Tronic that not only is he growing as an artist, but that hip hop music as a genre still has room to grow.
