Fat Ray & Black Milk - “Bad Man” featuring Guilty Simpson and Scorpion
Friday, April 18th, 2008
The future of hip-hop is now and lives in Detroit. Put aside the claims that hip-hop is dead and focus your attention on the underground rap scene that is blowing up in Motor City. Black Milk, Detroit native and regarded by many as the heir to the J Dilla throne, has teamed up with Fat Ray on The Set Up LP. The latest track from the duo is “Bad Man” featuring Guilty Simpson and Scorpion. Taking a reggae-inspired hook and a potent snare-heavy Black Milk beat, the track rips through the speakers with unwavering energy. Lyrically, the song centers on the state of everyday life in the hood of Detroit, as Guilty Simpson rhymes, “You’d better have a vest in place, they still get tech 9’s in section 8 / Get low then let the gat spray, Detroit’s best like Milk and Fat Ray.” Not everything is serious though - Fat Ray shares his sense of humor when talking about other rappers with “They even mix gangsta with gospel / that’s like selling cocaine at a Costco.”
