“He produces harder beats than anyone and raps with flesh-eating venom for the evil, the hypocritical and the competition” – The FADER
“JPEGMafia was as winkingly confrontational as his on-record persona would have you believe at his Coachella debut” – Rolling Stone, Coachella

“It was the hardest performance of the weekend and not just because JPEGMAFIA was the only artist to hit a worm on stage.” – Pitchfork, Afropunk
“one of the most thrilling sets of the weekend.” – Stereogum, Pitchfork Music Fest

Rapper and producer JPEGMAFIA has shared his first solo single since his acclaimed breakthrough album Veteran, titled ‘Jesus Forgive Me, I Am A Thot’ – out now via EQT Recordings / Caroline Australia.
Fresh from a Billboard premiere, the video – directed by Andrew Mcglennon – shows Peggy taunting his haters and reflecting on his successes against a majestic mountain backdrop, interlaced with darker and lighter moments. As a minimalist production with only a few shots throughout its entirety, the video highlights the energy that is showcased in not only the song but also his live performance.
“It’s nice to have something out that’s more me. I hiked five fucking hours for this fucking shoot. Five. Fucking hours. If anybody doesn’t like it then fuck you. I hiked five hours. I don’t care. It’s beautiful, it’s elegant, and it doesn’t have to force you into keeping your attention. I just wanted something that was able to be suspenseful without forcing it. This video is just me existing. I wanted you to be moved by what’s going on. And if not, then fuck you. I hiked five hours.” – JPEGMAFIA
New music lands just ahead of JPEGMAFIA’s very first Australian Tour next month for Listen Out, alongside Diplo, 6LACK and fellow peers/collaborators Denzel Curry and Flume – dates below.
Over the past year, Peggy has been hailed a “national treasure” by Billboard, “a force to be reckoned with” by The FADER and a “visionary” by the Los Angeles Times, while having some of the most captivating live performances at major festivals.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
