JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown at The Factory in Deep Ellum

JPEGMAFIA makes confrontational, experimental rap that challenges both the left and right wings. His scathing lyrics target subjects including racist Internet trolls, hipsters, cops, and numerous rock and pop stars, calling out cultural appropriation as well as token nods to diversity. While unflinching and direct, his verses are delivered with a dark sense of humor; he sometimes evokes the perspective of the people he’s taking shots at without clarifying his intentions, potentially confusing the listener. His song titles, including “I’ll Never Forgive Hipsters for What They Did to Brooklyn” and “I Cannot Fucking Wait Until Morrissey Dies,” speak volumes. His productions are fittingly abrasive and fractured, puncturing trap beats with glitches and noise bursts. After releasing several tapes beginning in 2015, JPEGMAFIA first began receiving widespread attention for his 2018 full-length Veteran and its 2019 follow-up, All My Heroes Are Cornballs. His success carried into the next decade with a series of 2020 EPs and a full-length titled LP! Scaring the Hoes, a long-promised collaboration with Danny Brown, was released in 2023.
