1539 N. Calvert
Baltimore's JPEGMAFIA is a relentless beat stylist that specializes in hip hop collages. A restless artist, he reinvents himself on nearly every track of the superlative Veteran.
He is experimental in the true sense of the word, puzzling out the ups and downs, the lefts and rights, the whys and wherefores of his art and serving up the results in real time.
Don't worry about the conceptual integrity of The Album. Just dig on the tracks that hit. Our highlighted track "1539 N. Calvert" is a frontstoop hangout "Hi, How Are You?" He gets weirder elsewhere, but it's nice to see that he can play hip hop straight on the doorstep.
Stream, share, buy to your heart's content.
A soulful call and response between the flute and the kora.
A live solo ditty from an artist you know from Lewis Del Mar.
Piano-forward spiritual jazz on that Alice Coltrane grind.
