The album features JPEGMAFIA's most streamed song, 1539 N. Calvert. As described by Pitchfork: "Entirely self-produced, Veteran is a remarkable exercise in sound and texture. At it's bestthe production makes the frayed edges of each element part of the atmosphere, a mess of distortion that works percussively and melodically." JPEGMAFIA has since established himself as one of today's premiere contemporary and experimental hip hop artists, with over 1.5M monthly listeners on Spotify, and 500K+ Instagram followers.
