Following last year's mind-blowing collab with Danny Brown, American rapper JPEGMAFIA is dishing up a trio of tasty vinyl delights, set to reissue his second, third, and fourth albums later this month. 2018's Veteran thrust JPEGMAFIA into the limelight, making the end of year lists of any music publication worth its salt, while the following year's All My Heroes Are Cornballs pushed his experimental tendencies to new limits. Finally, fourth album LP! landed in 2021, notably including the big tuneTIRED, NERVOUS & BROKE! featuring a memorable duet with our very own Kimbra in its outro. - Flying Out

Veteran is the second studio from renowned Baltimore rapper, JPEGMafia. It was released on January 19 2018 by Deathbomb Arc and Republic Records. The album was released to widespread critical acclaim and brought JPEGMafia to the forefront of contemporary and experimental hip hop. NME, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Noisey, and Spin all listed Veteran in their top 100 albums of 2018. In 2019, Pitchfork listed it at number 171 in their list of best albums of the decade. The album features JPEGMafia most streamed song, 1539 N. Calvert.

As described by Pitchfork: "Entirely self-produced, Veteran is a remarkable exercise in sound and texture. At its best the production makes the frayed edges of each element part of the atmosphere, a mess of distortion that works percussively and melodically."

The broken growl of JPEGmafia's production creates an uncomfortable harmony between sophisticated and garbage. This is the perfect sound for JPEGMafia's flows, which find their true sense of danger in not giving a single fuck. Hyped up and scolding; intellectual and destructive. The sounds of Veteran are JPEGmafia's most ecstatic and energized yet. Jittering melodies, tumbling beats, and over the top bars show him at his most wild. Perhaps 'Veteran' refers to what you will be, if you survive the listen.

JPEGMafia has since established himself as one of today's premiere contemporary and experimental hip hop artists, with over 1.5M monthly listeners on Spotify, and 500K+ Instagram followers.
