JPEGMAFIA announces new album and North American headline tour

JPEGMAFIA has announced details of his brand-new album, EXPERIMENTAL RAP, and it’s dropping in just three weeks’ time.

Arriving on May 21, it’s described as the ‘most adventurous record’ he’s ever made in a press release, and was written, produced and mixed entirely by his own hands.

Speaking to Kerrang! last year, JPEG admitted that his creative process was “hard”, but “that’s what the fuck I’m here to do. I’m here to take anything I hear, from any genre, put it together and present it in a way that’s easy to understand. I’m like a war general going in with a plan and executing it. My thing is I’m a master editor. I’m Steph Curry [NBA superstar who made shooting from 30 feet look normal]: I step in the motherfucking booth and I’m hitting that three-point shot every time.”

You can get a glimpse of what’s to come with new single babygirl below:
