The time for leaking tracks from Black Milk’s “No Poison No Paradise” is over. The LP is out! Well… maybe one more leak. This bonus track “Poison” is on deck for the streaming. Check it out.
“No Poison No Paradise” takes the listener on a journey through the experiences of Sonny, Jr. (a semi-autobiographical character), and his lucid dreams; growing up in a rough working-class neighborhood in Detroit.
“This was the last song I made for the album. It’s a short song about the main character, Sonny, waking up out of his dream and trying to make sense of it all.”

Black Milk – “Sunday’s Best/Monday’s Worst” (Video)
October 8, 2013
“This video means a lot to me for few different reasons. One, it was cool to have some of my family members in the video. Also, shooting footage of the house I grew up in and spent my of my life in brought back so many memories of all of the music I recorded there, from ‘Sound of the City’ all the way through ‘Tronic.’ It was my first time being behind the camera as well and is probably my best video yet.”
– Black Milk
An excellently seamless blend of two outstanding tracks from what promises to be an outstanding project – Black Milk’s upcoming album “No Poison No Paradise” (due out October 15, 2013) – this is the video for “Sunday’s Best/Monday’s Worst.” The album boasts guest features that include Dwele, Quelle Chris, Black Thought (of The Roots), and jazz pianist Robert Glasper.

9th Wonder – “Bladey Mae” (Grandma’s Blades) [Beat Tape]
September 30, 2013
“This past weekend, I met my grandma, Beulah Mae Jarrett Douthit’s family (my dad’s mother) for the first time. My grandma passed in 1965, so I’ve had no connection to her at all. I listened to the elders talk about her all day. One elder in particular, her oldest niece, who’s 78-years-old, told me that her nickname was ‘Bladey Mae,’ because of the blades she carried around in the purse and pockets, to protect her children from a segregated South, one of them being my dad. I was looking for a name for a new beat tape, and that one just came out of nowhere.
Here’s to you Beulah Mae Jarrett Douthit and the blades you carried to protect pops……‘Bladey Mae’…â€
– 9th Wonder
Here’s a sampler stream for you to check out. Click the link to purchase the full 73-beat collection.
