The White Mandingos are killing the game as of late. Back with the B-side to their "Mandingo Rally" 7", they drop "Black Girl Toof" - another Record Store Day exclusive and the latest single from their forthcoming LP The Ghetto Is Tryna Kill Me. Proving themselves adept at existing successfully at the intersection of many styles, The White Mandingos drop a contemplative track about love and pain in large amounts. "Black Girl Toof" is an affirmation of devotion from a man to a woman who has been abused and irreparably bruised. MURS drops a handful of crazy quotables over the chilled track about the pain of unrequited love and the ways in which a sordid past can stand in the way of a brighter future. This is the type of joint you rewind just for the lines. Here's what The White Mandingos had to say about it:

"Black Girl Toof" is the manifestation of love and confusion. It is soul and rap and soul clap and booty clap. The White Mandingos are forever. Open your mouth and your heart. - The White Mandingos

The Ghetto Is Tryna Kill Me hits stores on June 11th via Fat Beats Records. Check the track below.
