JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown announce SCARING THE HOES: DIRECTORS CUT

JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown have announced SCARING THE HOES: DIRECTORS CUT.

The pair’s 2023 project is getting reworked and released this Wednesday, October 22, with the album tracklist getting reorganised alongside EP expansion DLC Pack tracks and three additional songs.

They’ve unveiled new single Manic! ahead of the album’s arrival (listen below), with Danny also gearing up to release his new record Stardust on November 7.

Peggy, meanwhile, unveiled his fifth LP I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU last summer, and he told Kerrang! earlier this year that, “On I LAY DOWN MY LIFE…, I kind of dropped the guard, like, ‘Let me talk real.’ From henceforth, I’ve kind of changed the way I look at life and what I’m going to say on record. Because the least shocking thing you can do in 2025 is go outside, butt-naked and do a front-flip. It’s like, okay, cool, that’s interesting for three seconds. But a motherfucker telling the truth? Uh-oh!

“I’ve always been like, ‘Oh, it’s not cool to talk about your real feelings,’” he added. “But now, I see it’s actually the bravest shit to do.”
