Danny Brown & JPEGMAFIA flip Diddy's "I Need A Girl Pt. 2" for the first single off of their joint project, "Scaring The Hoes: Volume 1."

Danny Brown and JPEGMAFIA have had fans excited for new music over the past few years. While JPEGMAFIA dropped off LP! In 2021, it’s been nearly four years since Danny Brown’s last studio album, Uknowhatimsayin? Since then, he’s hinted at a new project, though there hasn’t been much of an update surrounding Quaranta since late December 2022. Still, he hasn’t confirmed a release date just yet but that doesn’t mean we’ll be going empty-handed this year

The XXX rapper and Veteran artist began teasing a joint project as early as last year. However, Danny Brown and JPEGMAFIA finally confirmed a title for their upcoming project: Scaring The Hoes Vol. 1. At this point, there’s a rumored release date slated for next week but neither Danny nor JPEGMAFIA has confirmed it. However, the two slid through this morning with their first offering from the project, “Lean Beef Patties.”

Danny Brown & JPEGMAFIA Blitz Through The Static On "Lean Beef Patty"

Danny Brown and JPEGMAFIA dropped off the first single from their joint project this morning, “Lean Beef Patties.” The glitchy, electronic-style production undoubtedly leans closer to JPEG’s style but it’s also a sonic territory that Danny isn’t unfamiliar with. The record boasts a sped-up sample of Ginuwine and Mario Winans hook on Diddy’s “I Need A Girl Pt. 2” that they transform into a lo-fi, dance-adjacent banger.

“Lean Beef Patties” is by no means their first collaboration together. JPEGMAFIA played a role on Danny Brown’s last studio album. He produced the Run The Jewels-assisted “3 Tearz” and also contributed a verse on “Negro Spiritual.” Around the time, Danny said JPEGMAFIA was one artist who came after him that he said inspired him. “For a long time, it felt like I was sitting in a class by myself. Then Peggy came along and I felt like we were fighting the same battle when it comes to this hip-hop shit. It’s good to have someone on the front line with you,” he told HNHH. Check out their new collab above.

Quotable Lyrics
​​First off, fuck Elon Musk
Eight dollars too much, this past expensive
For the hoes in the back and the cracks in the slack
If I tweet then delete then I meant it
