One of these tapes got into the hands of buster Detroiters Slum Village, wHO were impressed by what they heard and invited Cross to bring forth a track on their 2002 mixtape Dirty District, as comfortably as on their official full-length Trinity (Past times, Present and Future). After that, Cross, wHO was departure as Black Milk, teamed up with producer RJ Rice, Jr. (or Young RJ), as the radical B.R. Gunna, rhyming and making beatniks on the duo's 2004 release Foul District, Vol. 2. That same year, Slum Village, wHO were looking at for production work because usual beat-makers Waajeed and Kareem Riggins were busy with other projects, leased B.R. Gunna for 11 of the 13 tracks on their Motor City Deli LP. In 2005, without a label and with his group on foramen, Black Milk went on to release Sound of the City, which was more of a mixtape than a typical album, on his have Music House Records, and in brief afterwards worked on SV's self-titled record.
