About
Jpegmafia is an American rapper, singer, and record producer whose career skyrocketed thanks to tracks like 1539. N Calvert (2018) or BALD! (2020).
Jpegmafia has proved a great evolution as a music artist throughout the years. Although he started with a self-released album, the singer garnered widespread critical acclaim in 2018 with his album Veteran. Then, his next projects have only served as a way for the artist to continue to solidify his place in the experimental hip-hop scene, also adding collaborations to his discography (Denzel Curry), and producing for major artists like Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign.
Born Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks, the rapper served in the U.S. Air Force for four years before pursuing his music career, an experience that has influenced his musical journey and artistry, as he lived through unique experiences.
The rapper is also known for his confrontational and experimental style that blends different genres such as experimental hip-hop, alternative hip-hop, alternative R&B, and forms of music artistry such as sampling from video game soundtracks, which has set him apart from other rappers from the beggining. Due to his opinionated personality, his lyrics often reflect on themes such as politics, identity, and internet culture, even mixing a satire and raw emotion into the mix.
All this makes Jpegmafia one of the most innovate hip-hop artist of the current hip-hop American scene, with thought-provoking lyrics and unique melodies that continue to captivate audiences around the globe.
