JPEGMAFIA (@jpegmafia) Releases "Experimental Rap" Album + Shares “¥ (Yen)” & “$ (Money)” Videos
JPEGMAFIA has unveiled his highly anticipated new album EXPERIMENTAL RAP, an era-defining 25-track project he wrote, produced and mixed in its entirety. It’s a definitive statement and masterclass in left-field innovation blending rap, punk, rock, industrial and gospel into a fearless sonic landscape. From one of music’s most uncompromising creators, EXPERIMENTAL RAP challenges the boundaries of hip-hop while reinforcing JPEGMAFIA’s reputation for sharp, provocative lyricism and boundary-pushing creativity.

The album arrives alongside two striking new singles, “¥ (Yen)” and “$ (Money)”, which examine the obsession, power and paranoia surrounding wealth through complex, abrasive production that blends electronic textures ranging from dubstep to EDM with rapid-fire lyricism. Both tracks are accompanied by high-intensity, fast-cut music videos that capture the tracks’ chaotic, kinetic energy.
He announced the album earlier this month with “babygirl,” [Listen/Watch] an adrenaline-fueled fusion of rap, rock, and punk capturing contemporary cultural chaos, followed by “War Over Land,” [Listen/Watch] a cinematic, emotionally charged track about the human cost of conflict and the emptiness of clout culture today.
This fall, JPEGMAFIA will embark on The Experimental Rap Tour, a 20-date North American run with support from redveil and matt proxy, kicking off September 22 in Spokane, WA. Fans can expect the high-energy and intimately engaging live performances that have defined his stage presence at major festivals like Coachella, Rolling Loud, and Primavera Sound. Prior to the North American run, he will head overseas this summer for a string of European festival dates, including Lowlands, Pukkelpop, All Points East x Outbreak, and Electric Picnic. Tickets are available HERE.
This new era follows a massive 2025, during which JPEGMAFIA supported Linkin Park on their "From Zero" global stadium tour. Already this year, he surprised audiences by contributing to the BTS track “FYA” and producing the acclaimed single “Fake Jeezy” for Maxo Kream and Denzel Curry. EXPERIMENTAL RAP follows his widely heralded previous album, I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU, which earned critical acclaim from NPR Music, TIME, and The Needle Drop.
