JPEGMAFIA: the Experimental Rap Tour
About This Event
JPEGMAFIA (Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks) brings the Experimental Rap Tour to the Brooklyn Paramount, presenting work that treats abrasive, precise production as part of its storytelling across releases from Black Ben Carson to I Lay Down My Life for You. The bill also features matt proxy, whose sets favor direct delivery and quick stylistic turns, and redveil, a rapper‑producer from Prince George’s County with self‑released albums including Niagara and Learn 2 Swim.
About the Experimental Rap Tour
At Brooklyn Paramount, the Experimental Rap Tour brings JPEGMAFIA to New York City with support from redveil and matt proxy, framing a night of Hip-Hop/R&B that treats the concert as a testing ground. Redveil, a rapper, songwriter, and producer from Prince George’s County, Maryland, has built a catalog of self-released albums including *Niagara* and *Learn 2 Swim*, often making his own beats. The lineup traces a current NYC tradition: club-scale rooms where internet-era rap aesthetics get translated into live, physical sound. One clear throughline is process over polish, and the city tends to reward that.
