Black Milk - Welcome (Gotta Go)
Producer: Black Milk
Album: Album of the Year
Label: Fat Beats
Calling your LP the Album of the Year creates a very high standard to live up to, but Detroit native Black Milk not only seems to happy to craft sky high expectations, but delivers a single that helps back up his boasting. On Welcome (Gotta Go), the producer/emcee crafts a ferociously spooky instrumental (think Michael Myers meets Kanye) that features haunting background vocals and somber lyrics to match. Sporting a dense, action-packed flow that weaves its way in and out of the beat smoother than a serpent, Milk is lyrically dressed to impress as he tears thorough this track like a a college rejection letter with lines about “It’s just business/ it feels good now/ I’m at a point in my life, I wish a ni**a would now.” It seems like the success of other producers/rappers has given this one-time underground emcee an immense amount of confidence, and I can’t say I’m mad at it. Can Milk actually deliver the Album of the Year? We’ll find out on Sept. 14.

Black Milk's music career reminds me of Juwan Howard's NBA career - consistently solid for as long as I can remember, but never flashy or memorable. I know that when Nathan reads this analogy he will indeed be proud.

I like the production on here, it really grew on me after a couple of listens. Black Milk's lyrics ae on point. Overall a nice track. Somewhere between 3.5 and 4 for me.

And copy what I wrote on the Scram Jones feature. I actually think Milk's a better rapper than Scram, but he's just not elite. There's no shame in that, being great in one sport (so to speak) but not two is still being great. We can't all be Bo Jackson.
That sports analogy was inspired by Z's excellent Juan Howard reference. Well played my friend, well played.

Black Milk is as Dj Z pointed out...very consistent. This song will be memorable to me because of the actual melody/sample they used which is a song entitled "Hare Krishna" from a classic musical "Hair." Fat Beats has definite props for flippin' that sample and making it hip hop and Black Milk's cunning wordplay and undertones definitely work! Im a theatre geek at heart so maybe that has a bit to do with it too!
