VETERAN (CLEAR VINYL) by JPEGMAFIA
Description
"First, you notice the beats. JPEGMAFIA—raised in Brooklyn and across the South but established as an artist in Baltimore—is a preternaturally gifted producer, the textures of his beats all jagged and interlocking just so. It's ordered anarchy, informed by noise music and screeching dial-up modems; on Veteran's 'Real Nega,' he uses a vocal gag from the late Ol' Dirty Bastard as sonic scaffolding. But what makes 'Peggy'—as his cultish and rapidly expanding fanbase refers to him—such a magnetic artist is his ability to gobble up all the broken syntaxes, unhinged YouTube comments, and Senatorial screeds that define this era and regurgitate them back in a focused burst. He has that unique ability as a writer to make verses that are dripping in irony seem, in aggregate, to convey a sincere and unmistakable message. Veteran is the sort of album that will spawn hundreds, if not thousands, of imitators in basements and bedrooms across the country—and not a single one will replicate it." –Paul A. Thompson, Pitchfork, "The 50 Best Albums of 2018"
