Black Milk feat. DJ Premier, Fat Ray, Pharoahe Monch, Royce 5'9", Sean Price
Explicit Version. His 2008 album Tronic shows that Black has grown tremendously as a producer, as he's adopted more live instrumentation and he is introducing more complex arrangement than his previous sample-heavy work. He also shows marked improvement as an emcee, and carries most of the album himself with only three guest verses on the entire album (from emcee royalty Pharoahe Monch, Royce Da 5'9", and Sean Price). Not even two years removed from his breakthrough release, Black Milk proves on Tronic that not only is he growing as an artist, but that Hip Hop music as a genre still has room to grow.
