JPEGMAFIA released his album 'Experimental Rap' amid controversy over a sample dispute that led to the removal of one track, while also facing backlash from Sideshow in a diss track titled 'EXPERIMENTAL RAP (BLACK CROSS+)'. The project, which includes a leaked reference track attributed to ghostwriter Dookie Homicide, features new collaborations and a single titled '¥ (Yen)' amid ongoing online exchanges with artists like Freddie Gibbs and Maxo Kream, who announced a new album produced by JPEGMAFIA.
