Born in Chicago, Milo grew up in Saco, Maine. He first began rapping as part of the Kenosha, Wisconsin hip-hop trio Nom de Rap, which additionally consisted of rappers Nicholas J and AD the Architect. The group released their first joint mixtape, Greatest Hits Vol. 1, in 2010.

Milo released his first solo mixtape, I Wish My Brother Rob Was Here in 2011. Milo Takes Baths was released in 2012. The song "Kenosha, WI" was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in a 2012 issue of the journal Postmodern Culture.

In November 2013, he appeared on Hellfyre Club's compilation Dorner vs. Tookie. He released Poplar Grove (or How to Rap with a Hammer) under the moniker Scallops Hotel in November 2013. His first official album, A Toothpaste Suburb, was released on Hellfyre Club on September 23, 2014.

Most recently he released the follow up to his last LP with the Kenny Segal produced 'So the Flies Dont Come' which hit #1 overall on bandcamp charts and garnered critical praise in Spin, Ghettoblaster and LA Weekly to name a few.

Milo is playing 2 seperate tours and numerous spot dates throughout the spring of 2015 to support STFDC.


"Future Islands have been on a tear as of late. They were one of the breakout acts at SXSW (see SPIN's Stubb's party), wowed Letterman viewers with incredible dance moves, and their new album Singles is due out via 4AD on March 25. We also learned in our new profile of the Baltimore synth-pop group that frontman Sam Herring is a true hip-hop head who composes his songs by freestyle rhyming over the band's musical ideas. But Herring's rap skills don't end there — a few months back, he recorded a VHS video for lo-fi rap project Time Spent under his Hemlock Ernst moniker, and the results are damn impressive. Taped to, um, tape, the clip shows Herring casually walking into a room, sitting on a bed, and rhyming his life's story with ease. Though we're already psyched about Singles, we'd love to see more of Herring's hip-hop." - SPIN
