Jpegmafia Has Some Final Disses For Donald Trump On ‘Super Tuesday!’

Jpegmafia has gone major in the first track from his upcoming ‘EP2!’ …

Jpegmafia returned after a few quiet months in November with a new EP titled, fittingly, EP! The eight-track project features each of his previously released, exclamatory singles from 2020, including “Bald!” “Covered In Money!” and “Bodyguard!” Now, he’s preparing to release a sequel, EP2!, with “Super Tuesday!” Featuring a stripped-down instrumental and a non-stop barrage of witty, wordplay-packed bars dissing Donald Trump, “Super Tuesday!” landed on YouTube with only a warning from the rapper that he’s working on a new EP. Whether he’ll see increased promotion for the project from EQT Recordings thanks to its new deal with Republic Records remains to be seen.

Still, EQT’s deal makes for a big win for the Bandcamp favorite, who broke out in 2018 with his sophomore project Veteran and gained an even bigger following the next year with All My Heroes Are Cornballs and his spot on Vince Staples’ Smile, You’re On Camera tour. He also produced “3 Tearz” featuring Run The Jewels on Danny Brown’s Uknowwhatimsayin? album, as well as IDK’s “Hello, Pt. 4” freestyle before embarking on his run of standout, self-produced quarantine music videos. “Cutie Pie!” “The Bends!” the “Bald! (Remix),” and “Last Dance!” can all be found on EP!, while Peggy also guests on Gorillaz’s Song Machine.

Martin Lloyd Howard channels nature in acoustic track “Rapids”

Martin Lloyd Howard’s recent single, “Rapids,” is a masterclass in acoustic storytelling that blends technicality with atmosphere. Originally a left-hand dexterity exercise, it devolves into full-bodied guitar playing that suggests the flow of water up and down a river, from foamy rapids to quiet pools, just as nature itself moves.

Howard’s classical training is evidenced by the precision of his fingerwork, and his interest in folk, blues, and rock brings a warm, natural depth to the performance. His guitar solo arrangement also illustrates how he can convey emotion without lyrics. He employs variations in tempo and phrasing to suggest the erratic dynamics of rushing water, only then allowing the melody to relax into quieter, more meditative spaces.

The music is dynamic and soothing at the same time, making you feel like you are on an adventure and thinking things through. “Rapids” stands as evidence of Martin Lloyd Howard’s versatility and imagination. It’s good for those who enjoy acoustic guitar playing or music that falls between raw virtuosity and emotional resonance. It’s an opportunity to focus, slow down, and find your way into the river of sound he has lovingly crafted.
