Miilkbone

Emerging from a lineage of Caucasian emcees, Miilkbone connects early figures such as 3rd Bass with later ones including Eminem. Born Thomas Wlodarczyka, he spent his early years in Perth Amboy’s Delaney Projects in New Jersey, surroundings that left a clear imprint on his material.

Recognition followed the release of his first single “Keep It Real” and the follow-up “Where Da Party At?,” which carried a guest spot by Notorious B.I.G. The accompanying debut album Miilkcrate nevertheless fell short commercially. After remaining largely out of view for nearly six years and contributing to Death Row’s Chronic 2000, he returned in 2001 with the sophomore set U Got Miilk?.
