But some liner notes, stickers, glossy photo or really anything at all really would've went a long way. Now, I paid for the album - which is what I got, and I'm happy with that. The album comes with a plain white inner sleeve, the record and a download code which is on a printed cut out piece of paper. (For some reason it sounded quite muddy out of my speakers but that's probably my fault and not that of the records) Get some decent headphones, and this will sound great. The vinyl record itself is nice and heavy and sounds pretty good, I guess as good as an album made almost entirely digitally can be on an analog format. The outer sleeve cover is printed well, and whilst it isn't my preferential cover out of the multiple variants, it still looks nice and the ODB homage fits the album well. So with that said, I was a bit disappointed with everything you actually get for that price. Typically, the only vinyl that I spend that much on are multi-record gatefold type records. I paid roughly £28 for my record, which is a lot for me. Now that I have a copy, there are some pros and cons I have to list out. Veteran is one of my favourites from this year and to own it on vinyl was something I'd yearned for. Veteran overall is an extremely important album in the underground and experimental world of hip-hop, and is just really fucking fun to listen to.⁣⁣ Peggy’s “fuck you” attitude shows in his lyricism, make jokes at the expense of liberals, the alt-right, fascists, racists, etc. Nothing is as good as the heavy bass you get on tracks like ‘Baby I’m Bleeding’ and that awesome throat singing sample on ‘Real Nega’. Something that you’ll notice is that I really love hyper aggressive styles when it comes to rap. Peggy isn’t afraid to get political in his music as well, and something that I really like is that he takes angles from every side, which is really interesting to hear. He’s just so fucking agressive, sometimes to the point were he makes his audience uncomfortable. Peggy is also extremely clever with how he writes his lyrics. His experimental beats, and samples really grab your attention. Not only does he rap on every one of these tracks, he produces them too.

Peggy not only has this amazing delivery where he goes hard yet still manages to not give two fucks. JPEGMAFIA’s sophomore record Veteran is one of the most fun, exhilarating, and avant-garde hip-hop records out there.
