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 most prominent black candidate in the 2016 US presidential election, Ben Carson, who was running 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]
