Around this time last year, Detroit’s Black Milk brought XLR8R into his production studio to share some of his beat science with us, and starting in March Black Milk will be applying that science to a live touring band with himself at the helm. The band will incorporate vocalist and keyboardist AB as well as drummer Daru Jones, and though it’s not clear what Black Milk will be doing, this In the Studio feature offers insight into his many instruments of choice. Have a look at Black Milk’s tour dates after the jump.
