Earl Sweatshirt beef be damned: There's a new JPEGMAFIA album coming this Friday. Peggy has been rolling out Experimental Rap with singles like the relatively restrained " babygirl " and the decidedly non-crunchy " War Over Land ," but the latest single harks back to the type of twitchy, choppy, jumbled beats he was making a decade ago on Black Ben Carson . This time, though, he has a lot more money: "All of this money got me on a pedestal, way that I'm talkin', I might get a raise," he raps. Watch the equally lo-fi video, which JPEGMAFIA co-directed with Logan Fields, below.
Experimental Rap is out 5/21 via AWAL.
