Leading Underground Rap Icon JPEGMAFIA to Rock Pohoda 2025
A show no true rap fan should miss. At Pohoda 2025, the American multi-talented JPEGMAFIA, a leading figure in the underground rap scene, will take the stage.
06. November 2024
Born in Brooklyn, New York, his music and lyrics provoke, experiment boldly, but also inspire. Known for pushing genre boundaries, his latest album, I Lay Down My Life for You, has been hailed by critics as a "must-hear album." In it, he blends hip-hop with industrial, electronica, funk, and jazz. Listening to this experimental rap, you’ll experience intense guitar riffs and, at his shows, might even find yourself in the middle of a mosh pit before you know it.
His lyrics are charged with political and social messages, and he also addresses mental health, speaking candidly about his own struggles with depression and anxiety. Sometimes, the title of a song says it all, as in “I scream this in the mirror before I interact with anyone”. However, in his latest album, he explores various other themes, including the "beef" between Kendrick Lamar and Drake—but that’s another story…
Don’t miss his performance at Pohoda 2025—it’s a rare chance to see such an innovative, contemporary artist in Slovakia. And he’s coming to Pohoda 2025 with his newest album that reflects exactly what this fast-paced world needs: a celebration, and a critique, of life in all its facets.
