2004 studio album by The Beatnuts
Milk Me is the sixth studio album by American hip hop duo
The Beatnuts . It was released on August 31, 2004 via
Penalty Recordings /
Rykodisc . Recording sessions took place at
The Cutting Room in
New York . Produced entirely by the Beatnuts, it featured guest appearances from Chris Chandler, Gab Goblin,
A.G. ,
Akon , Colion,
Freeway ,
Greg Nice , Milano,
Prince Whipper Whip ,
Rahzel ,
Tony Touch and
Triple Seis .
It was critically received as a solid effort, but barely scraped the
Billboard 200 , peaking at number 196. In addition, none of its three singles—"
Hot ", "
Find Us " and "
It's Nothing "—were able to chart. The album's title was inspired by a phrase uttered by a man in "some
porno ". The album contains more live instruments—as opposed to
sampling —than prior Beatnuts efforts.
