‘Sin Medio’ (which translates to ‘no fear’), is JPEGMAFIA’s second solo single this year. Built around a sample of 2 Live Crew’s ‘Hoochie Mama’, the track harnesses sprawling metal guitars in a fusion of rock, hip-hop, electronic and dance.
It marks the rapper’s first string of solo releases since 2021 and follows the single ‘don’t rely on other men‘ released June 17.
‘Sin Miedo’ is accompanied by a similarly raucous music video, which features JPEGMAFIA driving around in a cowboy hat and performing under a highway overpass — all filmed in a disorientating, glitchy style.
JPEGMAFIA first announced he was working on an album last year, telling fans that they could expect three from him in 2023.
However, he only released one full-length collaborative project with Danny Brown called ‘SCARING THE HOES: VOL 1’. The duo then followed the record up with the four-track EP ‘Scaring the Hoes: DLC Pack’.
On June 17, he confirmed to fans on Instagram that his highly-anticipated second solo album will be released soon, writing: “Album on the way.”
The rapper – real name Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks – last released a solo album in 2021. ‘LP!’, received a glowing four-star review from NME, which praised his artistic focus.
“Criminally underrated because he’s not making music like the big dogs, JPEGMafia still keeps his integrity no matter what – continually putting out a high standard of work in the process.”
Earlier this month, JPEGMAFIA announced a string of tour dates in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. He’ll play shows in Dublin, Manchester, Glasgow, London, Brighton and Bristol between January 30 and February 6 next year. You can find tickets here.
He’ll then play a run of shows in Australia and New Zealand a few weeks later, and you can find tickets here.

In April, JPEGMAFIA issued an apology to fans for “acting irresponsibly”, and insisted he was going to re-direct his energy into his music. Writing on X/Twitter, the rapper said: “I’ve refocused [and] I have been nonstop working on my album for you [and] I hope you all love it. [And] even if you don’t, I’m happy knowing that my fans understand I put real work into everything. And just to be clear, I am apologizing to my fans and no one else.”
