Joey Valence & Brae feat. JPEGMAFIA - "WASSUP"

Fast-rising, alt/hip-hop duo Joey Valence & Brae have released their highly anticipated new single “WASSUP” ft. JPEGMAFIA. JVB debuted the track at last weekend’s Gov Ball, when they joined JPEGMAFIA on stage during his Friday night set. The collaboration with JPEGMAFIA, which both Joey and Brae call “a dream feature,” injects Peggy’s signature kineticism into a track brimming with energy and in-your-face chaos.

JVB adds: “JPEGMAFIA compliments our vocals and boastful lyrics perfectly and adds additional energy and antics to an already monstrous track.”

Immediately infectious and quintessentially energetic, “WASSUP” is the first official JVB release since last fall’s NO HANDS. It’s Joey Valence & Brae at their absolute best and foreshadows the start of what’s next for the duo. PRESS HERE to listen and HERE to watch the guerilla-style official video.

Following standout performances at Gov Ball (which Billboard included in their “10 Best Moments” from the weekend) and Bonnaroo, the duo will remain on the road in North America and Europe, including stops at Lollapalooza (Chicago, Paris and Berlin), Osheaga and Rock Werchter. A full list of upcoming JVB tour dates are below.

In the 3 years since joining forces, Joey Valence & Brae have cemented themselves as a must-see live act and bonafide recording artists, with viral one-off singles and full-length projects like 2023’s critically acclaimed debut PUNK TACTICS (its title track was just Certified RIAA Gold) and 2024’s NO HANDS and NO HANDS (Deluxe Edition) which featured Danny Brown, Z-Trip, Ayesha Erotica and more. In between those drops, they’ve collaborated with an eclectic mix of friends and fans including IDK, Pendulum, 6ix, ACRAZE and Apashe. With each release, JVB grow bolder, braver and louder, turning up the volume on their swag as they skillfully traverse a smash and grab collision of 90s hip-hop, drum ‘n’ bass and decades-spanning pop culture references while remaining undeniably themselves. They’re carving out their own niche with a signature sound that’s equal parts nostalgic yet futuristic, authentic and infectious while still on a mission to one day open a Cheesecake Factory in their hometown.
