JPEGMAFIA on Why He Wants to Be a Superstar & Not Be Like Other Rappers ‘Making the Same F–king Song for the Last 20 F–king Years’
JPEGMAFIA sits with Billboard backstage at Governor's Ball to talk about everything that's on his mind.
His latest two albums, 2024’s I Lay Down My Life for You and 2023’s Scaring the Hoes with Danny Brown are the closest Peggy’s ever come to completely shattering that genre matrix. I spoke with JPEGMAFIA about the Director’s Cut of his latest album, his haters, his thoughts on the state of rap and how it feels to be labeled an underground rapper while shooting for superstardom. John Oliver said this, but I’m gonna paraphrase him: If Ronald Reagan woke up from the dead and saw the racist s—t Trump did in the last six months, he would c-m so hard he’d die again.
