detroit heat is typically wordlush’s domain (i’m pretty sure this is the first non-wordlush detroit heat post), but i couldn’t resist. this track from the upcoming ep, bad meets evil, by detroiters eminem and royce da 5’9, leaked late last week, and wow can these dudes rap. the beat is really nothing to write home about, but anything too flashy would detract from the skills on display. i have never been the biggest fan of eminem (and i do think royce da 5’9′s verses are better), but it’s hard not to like “fast lane.”

Black Milk drops Album of the Year on September 14th and it seems like he wasn’t boasting at all when he chose that title. Everything I’ve heard thus far from the album is stellar and this video proves once again that Detroit has some of the nicest emcees in the country.

Get to know Detroit through this video.  Black Milk is easily one of the best producer/rappers in hip-hop right now and Royce Da 5’9 is one of the surliest. If you’ve never seen it before, peep the video for “Losing Out” off of Black Milk’s ridiculously hot Tronic album. Gotta love the Hex Murda cameo. This is the definition of Detroit heat. Royce just dropped a new album less than two months ago called Street Hop. Check that out over here.
