Black Milk Showcase

I came across Black Milk a month or two ago watching this fantastic documentary from Palladium Boots about Detroit's thriving creative scene. Hosted by Johnny Knoxville, it exposed the blossoming community of artists and musicians that Detroit has been an incubator for over the past few years.

So I fell in love with Black Milk's work. Sure, as a fellow Michigander, I'm a little biased. But it's great to see that though Motown's industry has crumbled, something great is on the rise from its ashes.

Detroit Sex Machines - Rap It Together

I stumbled upon this groove a few years ago on my weekly raid of Columbia College's music library when I picked up the "Searching for Soul: Rare & Classic Soul Funk" compilation, a great collection of Motown-influenced funk, jazz and soul hits.

Apparently, their first 45 was "unearthed" by the Soul/Funk record exec Phillipe Lehman in a Michigan dealer's collection in late 2000. And thus, the Detroit Sex Machines live on!

Have a funky Saturday everyone.
