Read moreBlack Milk Talks “If There’s A Hell Below”, Working With Bun B And Pete Rock [Video]
For the past decade, Black Milk has been making exciting, genre-bending hip-hop records. The Detroit native got his start as a producer, but took up rapping in the early 2000s and has never looked back. Less than a month after putting out his latest full length, If There’s A Hell Below, he stopped by the HNHH offices to chat about his creative process, influences and recent collaborations with a wide variety of artists. Having paired up with fellow Detroit resident Danny Brown for the Black & Brown EP in 2011, Black Milk said he was fairly certain that he’d have a beat on Brown’s upcoming fourth album, and hopes to continue working with the left-field MC in the future. Black Milk went on to describe how Pete Rock and Bun B wound up on his album, saying he had known both of them before nabbing them for this project. One of the crazier collabs the rapper/producer’s had in the past few years is a 7″ single he recorded with Jack White. He described the recording session, speaking of White’s computer-less studio in awe. As such a versatile artist, Black Milk seems like he’ll always keep us guessing about his next move, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

YG stopped by Complex to detail his new short film Blame It On The Streets, which he stars io starring in the flick, n and wrote while on his My Krazy Life Tour earlier this year. And of course, he compiled the accompanying soundtrack that features some new music, including a remix to “Bicken Back Being Bool” and a cover of “Me & My Bitch” by The Neighborhood. That makes two albums for YG in one year. The film is based on two tracks off his debut project My Krazy Life—”BPT” and “Meet the Flockers.” “I’m just giving you the life behind that shit, how shit happens,” he says. He was inspired by films including “State Property,” so we asked YG to list some of his favorite “hood classics.” He also spoke about his upcoming Best Coast Connection tour with A$AP Ferg, which kicks off today in Toronto.
