He spent hours i n his basement -- at first with just a cheap drum machine and a home k araoke system, eventually moving up to more sophisticated MPCs and sam plers -- making tapes. One of these tapes got into the hands of fellow Detroiters Slum Village, who were impressed by what they heard and in vited Cross to produce a track on their 2002 mixtape Dirty District, a s well as on their official full-length Trinity (Past, Present and Fut ure). After that, Cross, who was going as Black Milk, teamed up with p roducer RJ Rice, Jr. (or Young RJ), as the group B.R. Gunna, rhyming a nd making beats on the duo's 2004 release Dirty District, Vol. 2. That same year, Slum Village, who were looking for production work because usual beat-makers Waajeed and Kareem Riggins were busy with other pro jects, hired B.R. Gunna for 11 of the 13 tracks on their Detroit Deli LP. In 2005, without a label and with his group on hiatus, Black Milk went on to release Sound of the City, which was more of a mixtape than a typical album, on his own Music House Records, and shortly after wo rked on SV's self-titled record. By this time, indie rap label Fat Bea ts had heard Black Milk's work, which many compared to that of the lat e J Dilla and producer/MC Madlib; impressed, the label signed him in 2 006 and issued his official solo debut, Popular Demand. Popular Demand was followed by 'Tronic' and now 'Album of the Year'\n\nA gifted MC a nd outspoken critic of commercial hip-hop, eLZhi began his career rubb ing shoulders with Waajeed, Dwele, and the other gifted Detroit artist s involved in the city's flourishing late-'90s underground hip-hop sce ne. After an appearance on Jay Dee's groundbreaking 2001 album Welcome 2 Detroit, eLZhi joined the producer's crew, Slum Village. With Jay D ee spending more time with other artists, eLZhi would become the produ cer's replacement beginning with the group's 2002 effort Trinity (Past , Present and Future). Two more albums from the group -- 2004's Detroi t Deli (A Taste of Detroit) plus a self-titled effort in 2005 -- would appear before eLZhi began focusing on his solo career with the 2008 r elease The Preface.\n\nDetroit Hip-Hop's Ambassador to the World. Mich ael \"HouseShoes\" Buchanan has been an integral part of the long burg eoning Motown resurgence. Ask the people coming out of Detroit and the y will confirm all of this. Houseshoes, a resident DJ at the Hip-Hop s taple St. Andrews Hall from 1994-2004, has had personal influence over (at least) a full generation of emcees, producers, and then-future-DJ s. Through House Shoes Recordings he pressed the now classic Jay Dee - Unreleased EP\" (1996), Phat Kat – Dedication To The Suckers 12” (1999), and Houseshoes – Loungin’ (2004). The most recent House Sh oes Recordings release The King James Version Vol. 1 (2008), his tribu te to the late James “Jay Dee / J Dilla” Yancey, has sold well ind ependently and received rave reviews. As a DJ, Shoes has toured extens ively throughout the United States and Europe with Hip-Hop acts (Perce e P, Guilty Simpson, Illa J, Exile, Aloe Blacc, Phat Kat, Slum Village , and Elzhi to name a few) as well as on his own. He has garnered the respect of acts far outside the scope of Detroit Hip-Hop by taking cro wds somewhere they never planned on going, helping them discover more about music in the process.\n\n\nhttp://music.vtechphones.com/\nhttp:/ /www.mighty119.com/\n\nFor more information visit http://trueskool.com /events/frequency-w-black-milk-elzhi DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20100924T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20100925T030000 CATEGORIES:san, francisco, ca LOCATION:MIGHTY, San Francisco WEBSITE:http://www.mighty119.com URL:http://www.mighty119.com CONTACT:415-626-7001 ORGANIZER;CN="Carey Kopp":http://trueskool.com/profile/k85 ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2247883103?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Carey Ko pp":http://trueskool.com/profile/k85 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
