Blackland Radio 66.6 (stylized as Blvcklvnd Rvdix 66.6 (1991) in all caps) is a mixtape by American rapper SpaceGhostPurrp. It was self-released on May 1, 2011, and re-released in February 2017, by Yeah We On Entertainment. The majority of the mixtape is self-produced, and features guest production and vocals from Lil Ugly Mane, Main Attrakionz, Supa Sortahuman, and J.K. the Reaper. The artwork was created by Lil Ugly Mane and Chino Amobi.[1][2]
Background
The mixtape pays homage to the hip hop scene of the 1990s, especially Three 6 Mafia's early material, whose influence is evident in tracks such as "Underground" and "Pheel tha Phonk 1990" and on its cover, which was based on the classic Memphis Pen & Pixel style of covers. It features chopped and screwed vocals in some tracks. Media samples from films and games like Mortal Kombat 3 and Godzilla are also included, which was unique to the genre.[3] Themes on this mixtape stem from sex to drug abuse, and while doing so, over lo-fi, trap instrumentals. SpaceGhostPurrp uses southern slang throughout the whole album while using extremely vulgar lyrics.
Reception

| Source | Rating |
| Pitchfork | 7.1/10[3] |
Brandon Soderberg of Pitchfork gave the mixtape a 7.1 out of 10 rating, stating, "Blvcklvnd Rvdix 66.6 (1991) is a mess of Three 6 Mafia-chanting, woozy Wu-Tang loops, DJ Screw wheeze, and Mortal Kombat and Godzilla sound effects, all paired with an off-the-dome rapping style that's equal parts Lil Wayne and Lil B."[3]
The Miami New Times recognized Blackland Radio 66.6 in its Miami's Ten Best Local Albums, EPs, and Mixtapes of 2011 article,[4] with an in-depth review noting "The Carol City boy takes his raw rap style to the next dimension with touches of horrorcore, dabbling songs with a feminine screech and a Vincent Price-like laugh. He even gets barebones experimental, leaving hardly a beat on his track Get Yah Head Bust."[5]
Duncan C, writing for The Fader, calls the mixtape SpaceGhostPurrp's "greatest and most diverse work to date". He considers "Fuck Taylor Gang (Not a Diss We Are Just Not Dickriders)" to be a Wiz Khalifa diss track. Duncan highlighted the song "Get Yah Head" as an "instant standout".[6]
In 2025, "Fuck Taylor Gang" was sampled by Playboi Carti on his third studio album Music and was used on the song "Crank".[7]
