DiVE (CD)
Black Milk
Amoeba Review
07/28/2020
From the very first moments of Black Milk’s Dive, you know you’ve got a hit on your hands. Bursting at the seams with smart lyrics, blissed-out production, and soulful melodies, Dive has to be one of the year’s best hip-hop EPs. Black Milk and company (guests include Sam Austins and BJ the Chicago Kid) play with elements of jazz, woozy beats and dreamy, hazy soundscapes, fusing genres and borrowing at will, to create a heady mix of modern R&B/rap sounds. Essential listening for fans of Mos Def, Flying Lotus, and J Dilla.
