Miilkbone – Keep It Real (1995)

Watch your doorstep, everybody! Representing New Jersey to the fullest, Miilkbone stepped to the scene in 1994 with the piano-driven single “Keep It Real”, followed by the full-length debut release “Da Miilkrate” in 1995. In the ghetto landscapes of the Delaney projects in his hometown of Perth Amboy, New Jersey, hip hop became the soundtrack of Miilkbone’s life. As b-boy kids bounced their ill pills with the mad swagger of basketball macks, the boo-boom of Rakim and Kool G Rap inspired the moods, grooves and attitudes of a new generation of rhyme slayers. Mainly produced by the likes of former Illtown protégé Mufi, Naughty By Nature’s very own Kay Gee and up-and-coming Nick Wiz, the album remains a highlight from the golden era in the catalogue of rap from New Jersey.

Available in a limited run on 2LP+7″ (750 copies), extra 7″ of “Keep It Real” in original artwork sleeve (300 copies), CD in jewel case (300 copies), cassette (100 copies) and digitally on all major platforms.
