Danny Brown and JPEGMAFIA’s trajectory and gravity as artists made their eventual collaboration seem inevitable. Brown’s unconventional arsenal of flows and cadences, ranging from sensible to manic, caught the ears of Peggy when he was around 20 years old and still working in the military.

Brown was introduced to Peggy’s avant-garde production and aggressive flows through friends showing him the track “Baby I’m Bleeding,” off Peggy’s breakthrough album Veteran. Mutual admiration would eventually lead the two to form a powerful duo in the experimental hip-hop scene.

Their earliest collabs include the tracks “3 Tearz” with Run The Jewels & “Negro Spiritual” from Danny’s 2019 album, “uknowhatimsayin¿”. Their debut collaborative album SCARING THE HOES dropped on March 24, 2023. The project was solely produced by Peggy, with each song including at least one verse from each artist. On July 11, 2023, the duo released SCARING THE HOES: DLC PACK, an EP consisting of leftovers from STH.
