More Info:

His debut album, a toothpaste suburb, does just as much to play up the commonalities Milo has with his label mates (and his place in the underground hip-hop world) as it does to show o_ just who he is himself. Milo's own qualities are obvious from his first 16 bars: a heavy-lidded deadpan whose flow calmly lets the punchlines deliver themselves, whether they're references to Arthur Schopenhauer or shameless fart jokes. Those aren't rare qualities—you get similar approaches on this very album from guests like Open Mike Eagle, who pulls Shel Silverstein wordplay on "objectifying rabbits", and Kool A.D., who is dementedly meta with a thinking-aloud verse on "in gaol". With the burbling, usually mellow digitalisms of producers iglooghost, Riley Lake, Greyhat, and Tastenothing giving his voice both gravity and lightness where it's needed, there's a feeling that Milo's been able to get in where he fits in, not just got in 'cause he fought in.
