Manger on McNichols is a collaborative studio album by American rapper Boldy James and producer Sterling Toles, released on July 22, 2020, through Sector 7-G Recordings.

[4] The album has received attention for its use of live jazz instrumentation, as well as a lengthy and complex recording process, which lasted over a decade.

[6] In the following years, Toles continued to work on the album by bringing in over twenty Detroit musicians to provide layers over the original boom bap backing tracks,[7] including cellist Mother Cyborg, percussionist Jugal Kishore Dasa and electric bassist Bubz Fiddler.

Andy Kellman of AllMusic called the album "a testament to Toles' vision and patience" and praised "James' consistency as an indefatigable sage".

[12] Similarly, Andrew Sacher of BrooklynVegan called the live jazz-band instrumentation "genuinely breathtaking" and that the album was "as immersive as modern jazz-rap classics like To Pimp a Butterfly and Room 25".

[13] Nadine Smith of Pitchfork gave a positive review, highlighting James' more personal lyrics: "His writing is even deeper and his focus more intense on Manger on McNichols.
