Black Ben Carson
2016 album by JPEGMAFIA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Black Ben Carson (stylized in all lowercase)[1] is the debut studio album by American rapper JPEGMAFIA. It was self-released on February 15, 2016.[1][2] The album was supported by the three singles "You Think You Know",[3] "I Smell Crack"[4] and "Digital Blackface".[5] Black Ben Carson was named after the only Black candidate from the two major parties in the 2016 US presidential election, Ben Carson, who was running as a Republican.[6]
The album was split into two sides; Side A being "hip hop in its rawest form – loud, angry, political, and self-aware" and Side B with a more introspective, mellow and calm sound.[2]
The tracklist was later changed to single disc consisting of 19 tracks.[7]
Black Ben Carson was named the best Baltimore album of 2016 by the Baltimore City Paper.[8]
