JPEGMAFIA: Hip-Hop Artist in New York

About JPEGMAFIA

JPEGMAFIA is the stage name of Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks, a rapper, singer, and producer whose work sits in experimental and alternative hip hop. Raised in Brooklyn’s Flatbush, he emerged as an independent artist before moving through a run of albums that drew sustained critical attention, from *Black Ben Carson* and *Veteran* to *LP!* and *I Lay Down My Life for You*. In New York City he brings the Experimental Rap Tour to the Brooklyn Paramount, sharing bills with artists like redveil and matt proxy. His performances favor abrasion and precision, with production treated as part of the storytelling.
