JPEGMAFIA’s I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU is a masterclass in controlled chaos. While his previous collaboration with Danny Brown, SCARING THE HOES, was a frantic blast of energy, this solo effort feels more focused, trading some of the "meme-rap" aesthetics for a heavy, guitar-driven sound that borders on rap-metal. It’s easily his most professional-sounding project to date, yet it retains the abrasive edge that makes Peggy a cult icon.

Hello! Welcome to a review on trauma rays latest EP, Carnival. Released on the 20th of February, I have had a couple of days to properly sit down with it and savor it. 

I am more of a fan of rap, but I do have to admit that this EP really filled a missing hole in me for more alternative rock music. The music really encapsulates the feeling of the EP cover, with dark guitar riffs, low vocals and matching lyricism.
