BLACK MILK Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Black Milk’s fourth studio album, the humbly titled Album Of The Year, was produced almost entirely by himself, with minimal assistance from Will Sessions, and originally released in 2010 via Fat Beats. Boasting the massive, bulldogging ‘365’ for starters, Black Milk’s perennial achievement only extends to ever more gain, nailing an idiomatic bossy, noughties-to-tens stadium hip-hop sound. This nonetheless varies itself, as we move from funk-sampling bombasts like ‘Deadly Medley’ to on-the-floor ass-slingers such as ‘Distortion’ and romantic bouncing-car lowriders like ‘Over Again’, on which Monica Blaire’s vocals especially shine. Now Vinyl Me Please reissue the rapper’s milestone record on limited edition "gold nugget” vinyl, limiting it to just 1000 copies.
