Fire Pick of the Week
March 10, 2025
Peace and blessings everyone. I am back with another fire pick of the week for your ears!
I have been following this next producer/artist for many years now and it’s funny how much you can learn, when you look, about the dope musicians we love to listen to. Black Milk is from Detroit, Michigan and has always put out fresh music. Whether with his works with J Dilla, Slum Village or with Elzhi or Phat Kat, Black Milk is a rapper’s rapper and a hip-hop producer’s producer, if you know what I mean. Black Milk has been collaborating with many artists over the years and a frequent collab partner has been Fat Ray. Fat Ray is also from Detroit so, their time together making music makes sense.
They started making music back in 2004 and this duo is back with some more flavor for us. Their new release titled “Food from the Gods” (Computer Ugly/Fat Beats) is another fresh set of hip-hop joints for the lovers of the music and culture. Those of us who love beats and rhymes are treated to a fantastic project.
11 dope tracks are created by the production of Black Milk and the writing of the pair of emcees. Also joining them on the album are fellow rhymers Danny Brown, Bruiser Wolf and Guilty Simpson. Guilty jumps on with the duo in the track called “Cane”, which for sure is one of my favorites. The perfect samples were chosen and as always, the beats bump. I also really like “Daily Bread” and “Double It”. Black Milk’s sound-scaping style in his production is so fresh and amazing to listen to every time he puts out music. I'm a big fan and I hope you will become one too.
Go check them out. Support indie Hip Hop and support Rap Attack Lives!
Until next time, Peace!

Last week I was back home in the “206” Seattle. The magic happened on both Thursday (15th) & Friday (16th) nights.
On Thursday we were at Rainier Avenue Radio’s Black History Month Museum at 4916 Rainier Ave South. Sheila Locke, Sir Mix-A-Lot & I reunited for the first time since NASTYMIX Records closed in 1992. We shared behind-the-scenes look at the birth, creation & fall of NASTYMIX Records!
Friday found us at the 206 Zulu’s 20th Anniversary event at Madame Lou’s (2505 1st Avenue).
Both nights were memorable!
