If you love your Hip-Hop don't you dare sleep on this artist. Black Milk is a rapper/producer from Detroit rapidly rising through the ranks. He already has 3 albums under his belt, not to mention numerous side projects. He won't be a commercial success but that's exactly how we like it. His beats are top notch and his lyricism is well above par too. Keep an eye on this man.

This is what Hip-Hop is all about. Sultry beat provided by Jay Dee, quality bars and a catchy hook courtesy of Slum Village. One of my all-time favourite tracks from one of my all-time favourite albums.

Genre: Funk

This tune was recorded in the late 90's but still manages to have that 70's authentic Funk sound. More recently, Lee Fields can be heard on Martin Solveig's 'I'm a Good Man' which was a Funky House hit just a few years back.

"Doing it in the park, doing it after dark, oh yeah". Classic! Released way back in the late 70's, this must be The Blackbyrds most popular song. Enjoy.

Heavyweight collabo between Bus and Bangladesh. This one is a true banger, Busta's flow is immaculate, but it never made the final album. Play this one loud!
