Black Milk, not to be confused with the Milkshake and Dessert Bar or the Clothing brand of the same name, is a Detroit-based Hip Hop producer and rapper. I first discovered the 36 year old when I heard his album "Sound of the City" around 2010. I later realised he was...
Happy New Year everyone!
As Christmas has been and gone and we’re looking into 2019, this weeks Sample Sunday is a New Years Special. Rhian and I cover some of our favourite songs released in 2018.
Sample Sunday is a Hip Hop music show where my girlfriend, Rhian, hears five records that have been used as a sample and then has to work out what came of the original record. For example, “Move On Up” by Curtis Mayfield became “Touch the Sky” by Kanye West.

3 Feet High & Rising De La Soul Samples
De La Soul is the main reason I got into Hip Hop, and certainly my first step. De La Soul’s Three Feet High & Rising was the soundtrack to my childhood, specifically between the ages of 3 (as far back as I can remember) and 6. In 2019 and 2020 De La Soul have been...
Simon Says GET THE F*** UP
Pharoahe Monch is easily one of my top five favourite emcee’s. His use of Soul music, mixed with witty, intricate and often dark lyrics make his music an easy go-to any time I’m stuck for ideas. His album “W.A.R.” is by far one of the greatest Hip Hop albums ever...
Love J Dilla [Dilla Month!]
Dilla is, hands down, the greatest artist for me. Since discovering him at the age of ~15, I’ve never gone a week without listening to at least one record featuring or produced Jay Dee. Whenever I’m bored of music, I always switch back to listening to some Dilla. The...
Feeling “HEATED” Listening to JAY DEE [Dilla Month!]
