JPEGMAFIA, often stylized as JPEGMAFIA, is the moniker of Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks, an American rapper, singer and producer known for his confrontational and highly experimental approach to hip-hop. JPEGMAFIA was born on October 22, 1989, in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, and later spent formative years in various parts of the world due to a military upbringing. His music is characterized by its eclectic production, blending disparate genres and samples with abrasive lyrics and themes that often touch on politics, internet culture, and personal experience.

Emerging from the underground music scene with his early works, JPEGMAFIA gained broader recognition with his 2018 album "Veteran", which showcased his unique blend of glitchy, off-kilter beats and raw, politically charged lyrics. His follow-up projects like "All My Heroes Are Cornballs" in 2019, "EP2!" and "EP!" in 2021 further cemented his reputation as an innovative force within the genre. JPEGMAFIA's skill as a solo producer and rapper is evident in his provocative and diverse discography. As of the early 2020s, he continues to push the boundaries of hip-hop with releases like "LP!" and tracks like "HAZARD DUTY PAY!" and the "SCARING THE HOES" series, underscoring his role as a fearless and uncompromising voice in the contemporary music landscape.
