MP3: ‘I Guess’ By @Black_Milk

In anticipation of his “Play Like Hell Tour” that kicks off in Dallas tomorrow, rapper/producer Black Milk shares a loose single, “I Guess”. “I Guess” is a lyrical onslaught from the critically-acclaimed, Detroit-bred artist, who flips multi-layered samples with oscillating percussion that rattles as horns unwittingly come into consciousness as the song progresses. Following production credits on new albums from Cannibal Ox and Oddisee’s Diamond District crew, “I Guess” is first single from Black since his ‘If There’s A Hell Below’ album dropped last October. The US leg of Black Milk’s “Play Like Hell Tour” will be hitting 27 cities this Spring & Summer. The tour, which features live band Nat Turner (keyboardist/vocalist Aaron “Ab” Abernathy, bassist Malik Hunter, & drummer Z Horton), stops in multiple US cities. Select shows will include performances by Yasiin Bey fka Mos Def, Fashawn, & Lyrics Born.

With more than a decade of industry experience and a rich catalog of recordings, Black Milk has transitioned from one of hip-hop’s young rising stars to a veteran with a uniquely well-rounded pedigree. His most recent works include collaborations with Bun B, Danny Brown, Black Thought, Robert Glasper, Adrian Younge, Pete Rock, BadBadNotGood, and Blu. He released his fifth and latest solo album, ‘If There’s A Hell Below’ in October 2014 via his own record label Computer Ugly Records. “I’m never one to say which album of mine is the best, that’s for the fans to decide,” says Black Milk, “but at this point I feel like I’m making the best music of my career on a creative level and on a technical level. I think you’ll hear that in this new album.” Black will perform songs from ‘If There’s A Hell Below’ & previous albums.
