JPEGMAFIA's new album I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU out today!


JPEGMAFIA’S NEW ALBUM 
OUT NOW 
FEATURES DENZEL CURRY, VINCE STAPLES AND MORE 
LAY DOWN MY LIFE TOUR KICKS OF NEXT WEEK

August 1, 2024—Today, prolific rapper, producer, and cultural disruptor JPEGMAFIA shares his first solo project since 2021—his new album I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU is now via AWAL. Executive produced and mixed by Peggy, I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU is rich with layers of narrative, samples and features from Denzel Curry, Vince Staples and Buzzy Lee. Listen / share I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU here
Boasting his most meticulous production, the resulting 13 tracks are amongst JPEGMAFIA’s best in technique and innovation to date. Where experimental hip hop’s most defining albums mined the conceptual, JPEGMAFIA brings lived experience to heed warning. Worlds away today from his ex-military background, one of the genre’s leading radicals reflects on the state of the world with damning reads on capitalism, conscription, patriot propaganda and more through his most anarchic raps.
To further support the new music, JPEGMAFIA will kick off the LAY DOWN MY LIFE Tour next week, making stops  throughout North America, Europe, UK, Australia and New Zealand through March of 2025. Full list of dates below.
Since his last solo release in 2021, JPEGMAFIA has had a wildly impactful run—touring relentlessly in support of a raucous and provocative back catalog, establishing his status as one of global music’s most incendiary talents. In 2023 JPEGMAFIA released SCARING THE HOES, a collaborative album alongside one of his closest contemporaries Danny Brown. The album debuted at #84 on the Billboard 200 and #39 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and was featured on 2023 Best of lists from NPR Music, Rolling Stone, The Fader, The Guardian, NME, Consequence of Sound and more. JPEGMAFIA also produced six tracks on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s album, VULTURES 1, released in February. 
JPEGMAFIA (Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks, “Peggy”) is a multi-talented experimental rapper, producer, performer and leader in the underground rap scene. He has released critically acclaimed projects including Veteran (2018), All My Heroes Are Cornballs (2019), and LP! (2021), and toured globally including sold-out headline shows and festival appearances at Primavera Sound, Pitchfork Music Festival, CDMX, Listen Out, and more.
