Contrarily to what the title of this record suggests, my girl has been trying to put me on to Peggy for a while now. She's always saying things like "Please let me peg you" and "One of these nights I'm going to be pegging you, you know". This review finally convinced me to let her do it tonight. Thanks Antonio!

Light 9 is very fair. Anything below this would be criminal. When I listened to it, hearing Danny's verses always seemed like an appetizer. Stretching your out your ears with his high mid delivery, and then transitioning to the more more chill, but still unhinged Jpegmafia. I'm convinced that "woooaaaaaaooww" sound on Steppa Pig is from Terraria Favorites: LBP, Garbage, Tester, KHK, GLY, and Jack Harlow Combo Meal. He did justice especially to Garbage pale kids.

I've listened to the album probably 5 times so far and cannot get enough of it. Also that cover is top tier

[@sinaklsindre2831]

I have listened to it 20 times and it gets better every time

[@cloudunknown]

The merch is even better

[@NickOwens]

I love how casually he just drops the 9/10

[@liambutreal4919]

The first time I listened to this I was taken back by the chaotic nature and sound of this album but after going through a second listen I absolutely fell in love with the production, themes and overall sound of this project. There was so much personality humor and creativity to ignore and I absolutely adore this album

The first single is actually the worst one

I've probably listened to the album like 10 times already since it's release.

[@luigimurri4237]

I'm surprised I didn't like this one a lot. I couldn't hear them most of the time, but I don't know if that's because of the mixing or my car speakers. I feel like I missed a lotta good raps. While I like albums that are sonically adventurous and light on hooks (Earl's "Some Rap Songs"), I think the non-linearity of the songs here makes it hard for me to remember them as well as something like "Atrocity Exhibition." I do agree that instrumentally, this album is on a high level. I'd earnestly listen to an instrumental version if available. (I haven't tried a solo JPEG Mafia album yet, but I'm very interested after hearing this! Where's a good place to start?) I liked the middle 5 or 6 songs a lot, but I wished I liked the whole thing. I'd give it a strong 6. I'm still glad I tried it. I'll take the songs I like and return to it someday. Also Danny Brown could rap over a baby spitting up and sound on-rhythm. That skill is always impressive.

@theneedledrop Been following since 2009, Anthony. Thanks for your dedicated work and turning me and many others onto new music and inspiring us to cultivate and expand our tastes.

[@Lloyd2VD]

I got into jpegmafia with his album “LP!”. Also love his newest one but I think LP will be the easier listen :)

[@madeleinep.828]

Never thought a song called Steppa Pig on an album called Scaring the Hoes would become one of my favorite songs of the year

[@naseemthedream23]

Definitely a fantano type album, well deserved rating👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

directly up his alley

[@naska98]

no mention of orange juice jones? loved danny's delivery over this incredible MJ sample.

[@ieggsavior]

I've listened to this album at least 3 times a day since its come out. Peggy has yet to miss.

[@AQGOAT24]

The clapping noise on scaring the hoes is actually a sample "Untitled"-Dirty Beaches

[@baronvonbeandip]

That they were doing this on a 404 is commendable. I fuckin hate that thing because my friends are Dilla worshippers with a background in 'lofi hip-hop beats to study to' type shit.

No point in study for this test if the result is always the same: being locked (and not in chastity cage)

[@zojaXII]

durring this review I cried, I laughed, I smiled, I screamed, what a great review for a great album 6/10

[@RigoVids]

Fentanyl Tester goes hard ASF I will die on the hill that it’s the best banger here, and should be the most popular by far.

[@paullemay6596]

5:20 Just to let melon and anyone else know, the aesthetic of Burfict! is very much "NFL Football". Vontaze Burfict is a very controversial, but undoubtedly talented and rough af NFL linebacker. Those "insane horn samples" are very reminiscent of the NFL themes on ESPN and Fox Sports, but it especially sounds like NBC's theme for Sunday Night Football, music that any NFL fan will be very familiar with.

[@patp.7110]

Honestly I didn't expect to love pretty much every song because Peggy albums have always had a skip here or there for me but here we are

[@all-caps3927]

Arguably the best produced album I will ever hear, and the fact it was all done on a 404 and is still about 10x better than anything any other full time producer has been able to do this year ( besides the alchemist I suppose) is just incredible. I can't praise Peggy and Danny enough for their incredibly bold genre-defying album which really sets the tone for the albums to come. I love how they embrace their supposed "weirdness" with this concept. Excellent, excellent album. Easily a 9/10

[@cvspergaming]

the production on this album is face melting magic

[@pngCOATS]

crazy how i can predict fantano scores, im inside his mind. i always enjoy his reviews tho good work fantano

[@educostanzo]

I recently had my mind blew hearing Atrocity Exhibition for the 1st time and after the introduction giving context to the title of this record and the description of the 1st track I'm sold, I'm gonna listen to this right now lol

[@edwardtaylor8971]

did you like it?

[@jennifersalome]

I'd never listened to either of them before (though I knew about them) and played this on a whim. Idk if that was a good or bad idea, but it was chaotic, and this is one of the best albums I've ever heard.

[@ramshadify]

The beats are perfect for Danny. They really compliment his style

[@danejohnson6823]

This album really confirms that Danny is at his best with chaotic beats. He kinda sounded a bit flat on 'You Know What I'm Saying', and I blame the more 'standard' production that was on that record

[@PeepIsAwesome]

i didnt mind this album until peggy started casting a spell on me and spoke in ole goblin causing goblins to knock me out and take all my gold coins inside a giant sack. 1 point off deserved imo

[@dunnowy123]

First off: This album is so fucking 🔥. It's a perfect synthesis of both of the guys' talents, so weird, but so full of amazing bangers. I was never THAT big a JPEG fan, but this album may have converted me. Also, on the point about the "underground and the mainstream collapsing on top of each other", I don't think it's to the extent where underground artists are as big as mainstream ones, but underground artists, trends, and styles EVENTUALLY bleed into the mainstream, but only aspects of them are actually accepted.

[@TheDrewDella]

the album was immaculate they both my heroes i hope to work w them. n when tf did everyone become an engineer talking ab the mix so deep lmao

Kingdom Hearts Key legit one of my all time favorite beats
