Black Milk - Fever (Damaged Sleeve)

The Detroit rapper/producer follows up with instrumental The Rebellion Sessions with a solo rap record that confirms him as a serviceable emcee—and a session leader with a sense of purpose

FEVER continues the Detroit rapper/producer’s expanding live hip-hop jazz-band tradition and leans into psychedelic neo-soul in the process, something like P-Funk meets the Ummah. Black Milk is using a softer touch with drums than his previously bludgeoning boom-bap productions might have predicted, with a pair of accomplished session players, Chris Dave and Daru Jones, at the center of the mix. Their shuffling breaks—loose but punctual, and never boxy—quietly gas most of the record. The whole album has a warm hue, but the shape and pace of the tracks morph quickly.
