Highly esteemed in the alternative hip-hop genre, Danny Brown and JPEGMAFIA (JPEG) have received critical acclaim for their past several releases. Brown is a rap veteran at this point in his career, as albums such as “XXX (Deluxe Version)“and “Atrocity Exhibition” have garnered cult followings and are viewed as modern classics in the eyes of many. On the other hand, JPEG more recently staked his claim as a titan of the genre, as his distinct production, song structure and versatility make him instantly recognizable.

A collaboration between the two seemed destined to happen, as both sport wholly unique styles that stray far from the accessible sound one would find on the radio or at a social gathering, thus the name of the project. Such a title then begs the question: are JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown scaring the Dragons at Foothill Technology High School (Foothill Tech)?
