I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU

by JPEGMAFIA

Jpeg is currently at the peak of his game. Following up from my rap AOTY last year with this mainly solo record, I had some doubts. Those were quickly quelled. As always, his production is one-of-a-kind and continues to push hip-hop into a new age through fusion with punk and industrial. Then we get to his collabs: "New Black History" and "JPEGULTRA!" masterfully incorporate two of hip-hop's most electric voices into an overall vision of retrospect to fuel the need to party in the present and future. This album is a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
