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...
This week features my favourite Pete Rock records, including his work with InI, C.L. Smooth and Method Man.
Sample Sunday is a Hip Hop music show where my girlfriend, Rhian, hears a record that’s been used as a sample in a Hip Hop record and then has to guess what Hip Hop record it was used in. If I play “Between The Sheets” by The Isley Brothers, Rhian would have to guess “Big Poppa” by The Notorious B.I.G., for example.

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!]
On the 7th February 1974, a genius was born. His name was James Dewitt Yancey. To others, J Dilla. An absolute legend in the Hip Hop production scene who should need no introduction.
Madd Skillz from Lords of the Underground
