BlackenedWhite is the second studio album by hip hop duo MellowHype of OFWGKTA. Production for the album was handled by Left Brain. It was made available for free download October 31, 2010 and re-released on July 12, 2011 through Fat Possum Records.
Background
The first single "Right Here" was released October 14, 2010.[1]
The album was re-released July 12, 2011 by Fat Possum Records without the song "Chordaroy" because the label did not have permission to use Earl Sweatshirt's vocals.[2][3]
Also, the re-release does not contain the songs "Hell", "Loco", "Stripclub", "Gram" and "Based".
The music video of the single "64" was released June 13, 2011.[4]

Upon its release, BlackenedWhite received mostly positive reviews. Absolute Punk called it "the most accessible Odd Future release to date" and went on to say that it's "another strong album from the Odd Future pack."[5]
