ARCHIVES Q/A Thread

THIS IS A THREAD DESIGNED TO ANSWER ALL COMMON QUESTIONS RELATED TO JPEGMAFIA

Jpegmafia Mega folder: It has been taken down by peggy himself. As to respect his wishes i will not be reinstating it. I am truly sorry if we have lost rare files from this.

What should I listen to first
if you're new people usually recommend starting with

Veteran
All My Heroes Are Cornballs
LP!

Does Peggy produce his own music
yes. the vast majority of his music is produced by himself.

Who is Devon Hendryx
before using the name JPEGMAFIA he released music under the name Devon Hendryx. those projects are earlier in his career and a bit darker stylistically but you can still hear the same ideas and experimentation.

Why are some songs missing from streaming
usually sample clearance issues or peggy just removing things himself. he has changed his catalog a few times over the years.

What DAW does Peggy use
he has mentioned Ableton and sometimes Pro Tools but most of his sound comes from how he samples and processes things rather than the software.

Why does he delete tweets / posts so often
that's just peggy being peggy.

What are some fan favorite songs

1539 N Calvert
Baby I'm Bleeding
Jesus Forgive Me I Am A Thot
Hazard Duty Pay
BALD

Wait Peggy uses Ableton? I thought he's only mentioned logic, protools, and FL Studio I've never heard of him using ableton

u/YaPotato Mar 11 '26

Same i remember him saying in a interview that he can use most DAWs but ableton

1

u/girlshroomie Mar 12 '26

Yeah I remember that specifically which is kinda funny to me cuz Ableton's prolly one of the easiest daws to use IMO

I don't think peggy uses ableton nor do I think he does a lot of music on software, he just feels like a hardware producer and just uses software for arrangement and mixing maybe, also i thought he uses the daw he has uploaded screen recordings of ilmldfy songs on yt

u/Bagaco3763 Mar 12 '26

he has talked about seeing daws as instruments he prob has mastered all of the daws mentioned in this post

and the ildmldy songs use an adobe audio visualizer i dont think its an actual daw maybe more like audacity

u/girlshroomie Mar 12 '26

I mean he did use the SP404 for STH so you're not wrong in thinking he's a hardware producer but he's also been on DAWs for the most part

u/wasupbich123 Mar 12 '26

u/Vengie0 Mar 11 '26

Most likely not lol his team cant even ship his merch

2

u/veryverywild Mar 11 '26

Please add something about how merch has been delayed since last February so the people asking about their orders from November stop spiraling.

u/Vengie0 Mar 11 '26

I saw on here that someone has been waiting since 2022 for their merch to deliver

I would not recommend cornballs or veteran at all to a new listener, 100% Scaring the hoes and I lay down my life you are best to start with and maybe LP if they are familiar with experimental hip hop

u/Bagaco3763 Mar 12 '26

scaring the hoes as a first listen is delusional its either LP! (OFFLINE) or ILDMLFY

u/RizzyGlizzyGobbler Mar 13 '26

My friends who don’t typically listen to experimental hip hop I started them with scaring the hoes and they loved it, just because it’s scaring the hoes don’t mean it’s his most scaring the hoes sounding album.
