On his newest album, Veteran, JPEGMAFIA (who is a veteran himself) snarls and snickers his way through a treacherous ecosystem of beats, moods and themes. Marked by extended forays into weird and noisy stretches of songs like “Thug Tears” and ‘Real N e ga,” the L.A.-based artist spits frenetically, offering lyrics about postured hypocrites, remorse and many more topics. He’s also known for being an excellent showman, engaging with crowds that create mosh pits aplenty. With CRASHprez .
