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. 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…
JPEGMAFIA was set to perform at Pohoda 2020, which was cancelled due to the pandemic. Back then, he was rising in the underground rap world. We’re thrilled to welcome him to Pohoda 2025, where he returns as a central figure in the genre.
