The White Mandingos is a recently formed trio featuring Murs on the mic, Bad Brains bassist Darryl Jenifer, and producer Sacha Jenkins. The sonic smash that is their debut LP "The Ghetto is Tryna Kill Me" creates a perfect melting pot of a wide range of musical influences, with the marriage of hardcore hip-hop and punk/rock at the forefront. Eclectic mixes like this are always risking coming off as forced and unauthentic, while watering down both genres it's supposed to represent.. The White Mandingos, however, doesn't fall in to that trap, instead bringing a new vibe that should resonate with fans of all three artist's previous works. Especially nice to hear is how the agressive production here really brings out the beast in Murs, just check him out on "Mandingo Rally" above. Check for "The Ghetto is Tryna Kill Me" in stores on June 11, or get your pre-orders on from Fat Beats. Already now you can preview the entire project below thanx to HHDX so TURN THAT MOTHERFUCKER UP!!!
