JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown

The Profile

A collaboration between experimental hip-hop artist/producer JPEGMAFIA (stage name of Barrington Hendricks, also called Peggy) and rapper Danny Brown. The duo released SCARING THE HOES, an album produced entirely by JPEGMAFIA that mixes dense sampling, internet-culture references, and genre-bending production.

From the review: JPEGMAFIA is both a producer and rapper and produced SCARING THE HOES entirely; Danny Brown is noted for raw, autobiographical lyrics and a distinct voice. The album uses Roland SP-404-style sampling and draws heavily from internet and meme culture, soul, R&B, gospel, and other diverse sources.

A highly positive, detailed review praising the duo's chameleonic, sample-forward experimental hip-hop. JPEGMAFIA (Barrington Hendricks) produced the album entirely, drawing from internet culture and diverse samples. Some mixing and compositional flaws are noted, but overall it's called a vibrant, standout record.
