Black Milk has proved himself as one of the most consistent artists out of Detroit over the last few years, and he's looking to translate his lush sample work to the stage in a new way this year. With the announcement of the "Play Like Hell" tour, the producer will be making his way through North America, recreating his records with live instrumentation from live band Nat Tuner.
He's also recruited a couple of friends to help him out along the way, with Fashawn, Mos Def, and Lyrics Born joining him on select dates.
