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.
