Producer Left Brain's instrumentals are tailor-made for Hodgy's torpid rapping style, and they conform to Odd Future's distinctively trippy, lo-fi synth sounds and fidgety arrangements

MellowHype probably have a better album in them (recent track “65” is maybe their best song to date), but their triumph on Blackenedwhite can’t keep being ignored

A quality record overall, flavoured by the juxtaposition of reckless, youthful urgency and contemplative, chilled-out introspection

No Ripcord
If you're not a fan of gangster rap, BlackenedWhite is unlikely to change your attitude towards the genre. But for fans, this album is definitely worth checking out

Pretty Much Amazing
These songs don’t shake you to your core or make you sick to your stomach, and I think, in the long run, that’s a good thing

A re-issue with little motivation behind it other than dollar signs, which is out of character for both the group and Fat Possum
