Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks, known professionally as JPEGMAFIA, is an American rapper, singer, and record producer born October 22, 1989, in Flatbush, Brooklyn, to Jamaican parents. After spending his mid-teens in rural Alabama and a period in the military, he relocated to Baltimore in 2014, where he began recording under the JPEGMAFIA moniker. His early projects, including 2015's Darkskin Manson, responded directly to the social and political climate of Baltimore. JPEGMAFIA's 2018 album Veteran, released through Deathbomb Arc, established him as a distinctive voice in contemporary hip-hop, combining abrasive production with autobiographical and political commentary. The album received widespread critical acclaim and was featured on numerous year-end lists. He followed with All My Heroes Are Cornballs (2019) and LP! (2021), both released to continued critical recognition. In 2023, he released the collaborative album Scaring the Hoes through AWAL. His production style blends trap elements with experimental and industrial influences, characterized by dense, often dissonant soundscapes.
