Album Review JPEGMAFIA x Danny Brown - Scaring the Hoes

“What kind of rapping is this?!” asks JPEGMAFIA early on in opening track ‘Lean Beef Patty’. Answers to that are varied and deep, from the pinnacle of fantasy rap duos to the genreless gnarling hybrid baby of two of the most post-whatever artists walking the planet. As fans of either would know, JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown represent two of the hardest to pin down musicians around, formless liquid talents filling whatever bizarrely-shaped container they find themselves in. Perhaps the biggest surprise though is somehow when combined their enigmatic profiles interlock perfectly – Danny’s rapping shines over JPEGMAFIA’s unconventional beats while Peggy’s delivery and abstract but all-so perceptive lyricism shines alongside the bombast of Brown’s nasal snarl.
