Black Milk, Detroit boutique store Burn Rubber and designer Upendo Taylor have teamed up to bring you the official ‘Album of the Year’ tee. This limited edition tee will be sold exclusively online at Blackmilk.biz, at Burn Rubber and at shows throughout Black’s upcoming European tour. The press and fans have been raving about Black’s live show with AB and Daru, so Europe is in for a real treat. Tour kicks off in Copenhagen on October 14. Full tour schedule below.
Black Milk rocked the house last night at Southpaw for the first of three scheduled Album of the Year release parties. Starting the night off right was DJ Spinna and opening for Black were fellow Detroit heavy hitters, Elzhi and Guilty Simpson, and NY’s own Sean Price. Drummer Daru Jones, keyboardist/singer AB and bassist Malik joined Black on stage to put forth an amazing performance that led spectators to tweet that “Southpaw might have had the best hip hop show of the entire year” and that Black was “killing Southpaw.”
As if that wasn’t enough, Black was joined on stage by Pharoahe Monch and Sean P for their first unified performance of “The Matrix”; by Elzhi for their first live performance of “Deadly Medley”; and by Guilty Simpson for “Sound the Alarm.” Roc Marciano also joined Sean P on stage for “Snow”. Numerous other hip-hop heavy hitters were in attendance including Talib Kweli, Jean Grae, Rah Digga (whose album Classic dropped the same day) and Jay Electronica, who Black brought on stage to briefly address the crowd at the end of the show. Needless to say, it was an epic night for those lucky enough to witness it.
