Artist. Black Milk and Broken Wax

Artist. Black Milk and Broken Wax: I have a confession to make, I am not a music writer. I'm not good at objectively describing what makes a song interesting. My reasons for liking a song are usually random and idiosyncratic. Okay, that isn't completely true. I like beats. There's nothing random or idiosyncratic about that. I'd wager you like programmed drums and filtered basslines too.

Black Milk makes beats and rhymes. So what? Who doesn't? I guess the difference is Black Milk makes the beats you imagine making when you sit in front of your MPC 3000. Or maybe you don't - maybe you like making wack beats. Anyway, enough of my nonsensical rambling - Black Milk has my attention. And, if you've heard his stuff, he probably has yours.

Listen to Black Milk's Sound the Alarm (featuring Guilty Simpson) [Here]
