God of Black, stylized as GXX XX BXXXK Volume. 1, is a mixtape by American hip hop musician SpaceGhostPurrp. It was released for free on February 3, 2012, months before his debut album, Mysterious Phonk: Chronicles of SpaceGhostPurrp.

Critical reception

[edit]

Shortly after the mixtape's release, British music magazine Fact gave God of Black a 3.5 out of 5 rating, stating, "God Of Black Purrrp does things by himself, for himself, with mixed results."[1]

As 2012 concluded, Fact rated God of Black its fifth best album in its The 50 Best Albums of 2012 article, stating:[2]

"Yes, plenty of the material from God of Black was cleaned up and re-released by 4AD this summer – in an absolutely beautiful package, we should add – but we’d still rather listen to February’s grottier, grittier God of Black given the choice. A serious step-up from past mixtape Blvcklvnd Rvdix 66.6, God of Black marks the point where Spaceghostpurrp shed (most of) his skin as a Three 6 Mafia tribute act and established himself as one of hip-hop’s most intriguing new voices."
