JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown “Lean Beef Patty”

There are two aspects of “Lean Beef Patty” that I find striking and surprising – the first being the way JPEGMAFIA’s track has this very abrasive and frenetic IDM-ish sound that’s pretty close to the more accessible end of the Autechre catalog, and then how low he and Danny Brown’s voices are in the mix relative to the beats and keyboards. By the time Brown shows up on the track the keyboards are so loud he’s nearly drowned out, as though his voice is a secondary element in the composition like on a shoegaze record. This is a wild thing to do with a larger than life rapper like Brown, but then again you’d need someone with a bold voice like his to stand up to the chaotic volume and density of JPEGMAFIA’s track.
