black milk | if there’s a hell below

Oh the cream has definitely risen to the top.

 
Detroit native Black Milk needs not an introduction. No herald nor entourage either is required to create a sense of presence or permanence. All this very capable emcee needs to do is to man his electrified equipment and open his mouth to that other dimension and flow freely.

And on his latest album If There’s A Hell Below what is most poignant is what is absent and accounted for. Take a bow kind sir for allowing your mere mortal self to delineate from the commercial (as you always have) and center yourself in the eye of the storm. I so wish I could offer for your listening pleasure the track Grey for Summer or the unselfish majesty of No Poison, No Paradise. And Lord please don’t get me started on Hell Below for it transcends and elevates much like spliff smoke billowing from the temple-like nostrils of Jah himself.
 

 
For heads wanting to take such an imaginative journey into that other place were sound is the only substantive matter then purchase the stamped Black Milk ticket and get your transcendental groove on. Peace.
