Back in June, I had the pleasure of watching Future x Sounds 2020 Virtual Sessions, a live stream featuring Black Milk, Aaron Abernathy, and Quelle Chris. The trio came together to create a track called ‘Maybe’ and the stream featured Quelle Chris and Aaron Abernathy discussing the track and their feelings about Black Lives Matter.
At the end, Black Milk played an exclusive beat set showcasing old and new beats with added instrumentation and percussion. It was a welcome relief from all the violence and atrocities at the time (and they still continue); a chance to find solace in Blackness and creativity.

Collaboration Sessions Vol. I
‘Maybe’ will feature on a Future x Sounds compilation called ‘Collaboration Sessions Vol. I’, with all proceeds going to organizations helping families affected by COVID-19 and fighting for social justice, including:
- Detroit Justice Center
- Zero Campaign
- Beauty 2 the Streetz

There was a Kickstarter campaign which was successful so when it drops, we’ll let you know.
In the meantime, stream Black Milk’s live set for Future x Sounds 2020 Virtual Sessions below.
