Sounds Like: Milestone Affiliates are all about making music that (hopefully) we can be proud of. We are pretty much unafraid to experiment with different sounds to produce a fresh hip-hop sound. Our tunes are usually about the things on DeepBlaks mind, lifeviews, and things that effect life in and around the group.
