JPEGMAFIA collides genres at will on new track ‘SIN MIEDO’ + Australia tour Feb 2025
After unveiling his first new solo single since 2021 in the form of the explosive ‘don’t rely on other men’ and a riotous performance at Manchester, UK’s Outbreak Festival, rapper, producer and cultural disruptor JPEGMAFIA is back today to unveil ‘SIN MIEDO’, his second wildly unpredictable release of 2024. LISTEN + WATCH HERE.
A fast and furious speedrun through chaotic rap, ‘SIN MIEDO’ ignites early with JPEGMAFIA flowing freely over a chopped vocal sample. Naturally, the track never stays in one place long, metamorphosing from a skeletal, sample based rap track, to a metal infused breakdown, through to a euphoric take on filtered electronic music. It’s a snapshot of organised lawlessness through the lens of one of rap’s most creative minds; a space for all convention to fly out of the window in favour of synapse-activating sonics for a sub-three minute joyride.

Alongside the release of ‘SIN MIEDO’, JPEGMAFIA also announces more chapters of the “LAY DOWN MY LIFE” world tour, a global invitation into the world of one of contemporary music’s most visceral performers. Beginning in North America before stints in UK/EU and Australia/NZ, the tour will compound the power of a JPEGMAFIA live show courtesy of a discography spanning set that underlines the true influence of the artist’s diverse, constantly growing catalogue.

JPEGMAFIA (Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks, “Peggy”) is a multi-talented experimental rapper, producer, and performer known for his scathing lyrics and genre-defying productions. With an addicting confrontational style, JPEGMAFIA’s music is a bold commentary on contemporary culture, delivered with dark humor and unfiltered honesty.
Peggy is set to announce a worldwide headline tour for 2024/2025 in support of his upcoming solo album. This follows his very successful 2023 headline tour alongside Danny Brown for their collaborative album “Scaring the Hoes,” which included sold-out shows at iconic venues like Terminal 5 and the Palladium. His electrifying stage presence and unique sound have made him a must-see live act.
Recent festival highlights include standout performances at Primavera Sound, Pitchfork Music Festival, CDMX, Listen Out, with upcoming appearances at Portola Festival, Outbreak Fest, and more. In recent years, JPEGMAFIA has released critically acclaimed projects such as “Veteran” (2018), “All My Heroes Are Cornballs” (2019), and “LP!” (2021). His 2023 collaboration with Danny Brown, “Scaring the Hoes,” debuted at number 84 on the Billboard 200 and entered at position 39 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, while also charting in six other countries including Canada and the UK.
