'For some reason this goes incredibly hard' is the perfect way to sum up Peggy's music 😂

[@Taigaprawn1]

some info for you about jpegmafia: he is a veteran, an ex airforce soldier who was discharged honorably for, as he stated “calling out misuse of power.” he did start around 2008 under the name Devon hendryx, which is more focused on experimental and less angry and more sad in a way, working during his time in the army before living in Baltimore where he developed jpegmafia from racism protests in the city. he has been beefing with drake, one sided since his first album, even commenting about it on his twitter when kendrick dissed him. he mostly disses or makes fun of people on this album for being on record labels as he is purely solo! he even originally started rapping because people would take his produced beats and “wreck them” and he got pissed and decided to instead become a rapper. hopefully you check more of his works out! he really is a great musical artist, one of my favourites ever

[@icejoking]

this is genuinely one of the best evaluations of jpegmafia i’ve ever seen

[@Denri]

another important note is that the name jpegmafia supposedly came from a collective while he was on military tour which was going to be a "mafia" so people like gifmafia or avimafia.

[@TheArtunism]

@@DenriThough in 2024, its just Enso as DATPIFFMAFIA/AIRDROPMAFIA

In his live show there’s no transitions either 😭. After every song he goes “Aright y’all, I’ve got another song for you, this one’s called…”

[@lakohu7932]

and we go absolute crazy in the crowds

[@Vendertg]

tamerail is such a cool human

[@tntwhynot9085]

For some more info Jpeg is an army veteran who spoke up against abuse by his superiors and it was while he was in the army that he started making these experimental beats and rapping over it.

[@KiddBuu_]

wasn't he airforce?

[@HypeClips-ny3bs]

@@KiddBuu_yeah he was probably confusing army with military

[@anthonyadams3138]

He was Air Force...and speaking up against abuse is a stretch. I love Peggy, but he was most likely just an immature joe that didnt like authority...Ive met a bunch of young service members like that. They dont like being given orders is all.

[@bryan9406]

i’d give everything he’s released all the way back to “veteran” a listen. peggy has got one of the most consistent discographies out there.

[@midnightforestlurker]

Devon hendryx has a lot of really solid stuff too bro

[@austinaschh]

Bro you need to do Scaring the Hoes. It’s more unique than Yeezus.

[@austinaschh]

Not saying better but it’s probably the craziest rap album I’ve ever heard

I love ur reactions so much bro You should really listen to all of his albums cuz all of them are amazing and it's really something that you would never hear in any artist

[@JellalTellme]

Reaction was FIRE. Also you gotta react to more DENZELLLL. Melt My Eyez See Your Future is a perfect album from 2022, same level as The Forever Story.

[@jamescastleb]

i've generally heard,"A breath of fresh air," but either way, you said it correctly. love your stuff mane

[@reykombucha]

peggy lore is pretty deep. He's made music under 3 different names before going by jpegmafia now i believe. also hi

[@yuh986]

wait which ones i only kno devon hendryx

[@matthewhaar4304]

Love that you reacted to this. Def my album of the year!

[@4max0]

38:33 he has been around as Devon Hendryx, his real name, on bandcamp and other sites, he is like an og in like ambient and vaporwave and then later mixed in rap into his music and transitioned to rap fully about 2014. His first album on Spotify as Devon Hendryx came out 2009.

[@Somewhere_Bagel]

ambient been around longer than yo fav rapper's fav rapper's favorite soul singer. so og doesnt really work. Vaporwave yes though its a bit of a debate though. i usually include him with the OGs of the vapor scene tho.

[@AliRaza-h5k1c]

26:22 that was so hard when the beat dropped after you said that, w prod tag

[@nieznanipatroni]

I said PNG GANG earlier 😥, i thought i was so clever and nobody would ever come with this creative joke

[@bandoo1882]

you HAVE to listen to melt my eyez see your future by denzel curry. got a lot of jazz influence and the storytelling is amazing as well

[@45thLabs]

Welcome to JPVERSE RAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHATS A PEGGY TYPE BEAT

[@austinaschh]

Album of the year Exmilitary is my favorite song this year

[@TheArtunism]

Exmilitary’s sample was also used in 36 Chambers by Wu Tang

[@freddysamjacob363]

Also to talk about his lyrics, he mostly comes across as confrontational and in the moment flexing. But, if u do want to know more, you probably wont, i mean his entire tagline is "you think you know me" lol but i will say his 2019 album "All My Heroes Are Cornballs" is a bit more personal in a weirdly unique way

[@ShoujoSnail]

FINALLY LETS GOO 😭😭 Also youve mentioned you love jazz music a lot so i got to recommend beloved paradise jazz by mckinley dixon to you, probably my favourite jazz rap album aot, up there w low end theory for me^^

[@prcelainribz4527]

probably not who you wanted to reach but thanks for the recommendation

You GOTTA hear LP (Offline) from him next time you get around to him.

PLEASE OH PLEASE listen to The New Sound by Geordie Greep has some jazz fusion and brazilian style music you’d love

[@reboikh]

listened to it a few days ago its really good

[@bn7380]

Take this as another sign to do Vince Staples. One of the greatest rappers alive with a lot of variety across his discography.

[@Colinmaher44]

he wore a cowboy hat and sung his fuckin heart out to call me maybe crj

[@artemhommy]

another 10/10 reaction hell yeah, you gotta peep his other stuff you will love it

[@nicorico6796]

Just some background, JPEGMAFIA grew up in a poor area in Baltimore, Maryland. His father was not present, and he also is a veteran. I believe he toured in Afghanistan, but I’m not 100% on the country.

[@pietruə]

he grew up in brooklyn in his early childhood, moved to alabama with his parents, where he faced racism head on, on the daily and after that he joined the military not having any direction in life

[@nicorico6796]

also, the best experimental rap album ever made

[@manuelcardaba5645]

if you want some cool transitions from him, check all my heroes are cornballs. I think it's the only album in which he makes transitions from sont to song

[@coloripple]

I’ve loved your Radiohead&Kendrick reactions and JPEGMAFIA is my all time fave artist! PLEASE do Veteran and AllMyHeroesAreCornballs next, those are the 2 single most personality-oozing and insane album experiences of the last 10 years imo

[@coloripple]

Also in Cornballs everything transitions in such unique ways 19:28

[@joshuakim0]

YES HE REACTED TO PEGGY

[@badbadgilead2552]

you will really get to know him on offline!, pleeease listen to it next. he plays with gender on all my heroes are cornballs (with perspective)

please do veteran or LP! offline version next. 2 of the best experimental rap albums of recent years and I would argue they are both better than this one
