Elzhi & Black Milk on Sound Session
Posted in Artists, Interviews, Sound Session on December 2nd, 2008 by HyphenA few months back, J. Moore and the rest of the Red Bull Big Tune fam brought Elzhi (of Slum Village) and Black Milk to the town for the Seattle edition of the beat battle. Before tearing it down at Neumo’s that night (I’ll toss some of that footage up if I get time), they came through Sound Session to record an interview with us. Unfortunately, since we’ve had so many guests coming through lately, it’s taken a minute to get the audio up for y’all. Better late than never though, especially when you’re dealing with two of the dopest artists in the industry right now. I don’t think anyone is seeing Elzhi bar for bar, and with the release of Tronic, Black has staked his claim for the top MC/producer out there. Seriously…do you hear how he’s spittin’ on that album?
Anyway, the interview was recorded in between the releases of Elzhi’s The Preface and Black’s Tronic, so there are a few occasions where it sounds dated. Even still, I highly recommend checking out the full discussion to hear them break down both projects in detail. They also talked about their inspirations both past and present, their creative processes, all things Detroit, what changes they hope Barack can bring to the people, their upcoming work, and much more. Enjoy!

Do yourself a favor and go cop The Preface and Tronic if you haven’t already. Your “Best of 2008” list isn’t complete without both of ’em, trust me.
