Barrington [=DeVaughn=] Hendricks (Born October 22, 1989), better known as JPEGMAFIA ([[IHaveManyNames AKA Peggy, AKA Devon Hendryx, AKA Buttermilk Jesus, AKA DJ Half-Court Violation...]]), is an American rapper/producer known for his eclectic, experimental, and sometimes abrasive approach to both lyricism and production.

Interested at music from an early age, he first began producing at age 15 and took up rapping when he found that he couldn't market his beats. He later enlisted in the US Air Force at age 18, and released tracks under the name Devon Hendryx while stationed in Japan (including the proto-{{vaporwave}} classic ''Dreamcast Summer Songs'').

In 2015, he moved to Baltimore, where he changed his alias to JPEGMAFIA and released a mixtape entitled ''Communist Slow Jams''. Just one month later, he would release his debut album ''Black Ben Carson'', which boasted a more fast-paced and [[{{Industrial}} noisy]] sound. In 2018, he followed this up with the more experimental ''Veteran'' and released ''All My Heroes are Cornballs'' in 2019.
