Detroit producer Black Milk has continually raised the bar in his field. Weaving progressive rhythms while retaining the classic allure of sample-based beat-making, Milk has become one of the most well-known names in the liner notes of hard-spitting lyricists coast to coast. A gifted rapper himself, he’s built plenty of self-sustaining songs to perform this night, but word on the flyer is he’ll be bringing a live band with him to the stage for good measure. It also deserves mention that local velvet-voiced MC/vocalist J. Pinder opens the bill, making it a solid night front to back. With Nat Turner, A.Dd+. TODD HAMM
