Details:
What do you get when you mix smart satire and hard-hitting gangsta rap? The answer is Melkbone: a new hip hop artist appearing with the debut album "If Actions Could Speak". It's like Michael Moore, 2pac, and Eminem got together and produced a record. With sharp-witted lyrics and thick beats, the album charts new ground in blending great music and poignant social commentary.

As a performance poet, Melkbone has appeared at venues in Detroit and Ann Arbor, MI, delighting audiences with his unique blend of critical thought and lyricism. On careers: "I want to sit in a chair and stare at paper with something written there" On relationships: "Baby, don't you know I'm gonna cheat?" On politics: "Bush-Cheney Worldwide Muthaf#$ka!"

Honest and brutal, Melkbone's words offer insightful perspectives on American life and reveal subtle and not-so-subtle injustice in American society. These perspectives find eloquence in a genre that embraces screaming profanity and sophisticated critical analysis.

More than mere polemic, "If Actions Could Speak" addresses each of us in our daily lives. It reveals our role in separating ourselves from one another and in furthering hidden systems of domination. On community: "I don't know my neighbor's name, but I know the walls, the lock and key." This self-reflective quality sets this record apart from typical satire and typical hip-hop.

Alias
"Milkbone" was a name kids used to him in the 5th grade. He's re-claimed the name with a new spelling and these connotations: white, White, dog, dogg, and re-claimed language like "queer" and the "n" word.
