Curtis Cross (better known as Black Milk) is a hip hop producer and emcee from Detroit, Michigan.
He began his music career producing beats for Slum Village. In 2004, he formed BR Gunna, with Young RJ, and Fat Ray, and together they released Dirty District: Vol. 2, a follow up to a compilation released in 2001. Black Milk then released a solo album, called Sound of the City, Vol. 1, the following year. He just released an EP, entitled Broken Wax, which will be swiftly followed by his sophomore album, Popular Demand, released by Fat Beats Records on March 13, 2007.
In addition to Slum Village, Black Milk has worked with the likes of Elzhi, Phat Kat, Frank-n-Dank, Lloyd Banks, Canibus, and Pharoahe Monch, and handled almost all the production on T3's Olio mixtape of 2006.
