JL22

「整理我的行李 / 雖然沒有一起 / 不管要去哪裡 / 把你放在心底」...RPG x JL22 - Monday Morning
出差是我人生的一部分，你也是。這首歌獻給每一個出差打拼/在家留守的你。
Monday Morning is a track that captures the delicate balance between the grind of life on the road and the unshakable ties of love. With JL22 laying down a laid-back jazz-infused hip-hop beat, RPG reflects on the sweet struggle of juggling touring and work, while never forgetting who’s waiting at home.
For every hustler on the road and for those holding it down at home, this one’s for you.

《.JPG Vol.1: The Instrumentals》
一张献给热爱节奏、懂得呼吸与空白的听者之作
在推出完整专辑《.JPG Vol.1》后，RPG与JL22再次释出纯音乐版《.JPG Vol.1 – The Instrumentals》。这不仅是对原始作品的补充，更是一张让节奏、取样与空气自行说话的制作结晶。
制作人JL22延续其擅长的取样美学，从各类声响中撷取碎片，再透过 Maschine 切片重组，构筑出一个个律动感鲜明、带著温度的声音场景。整体风格致敬 J Dilla、9th Wonder、Madlib、The Alchemist 等 boom bap 大师，同时也保持JL22个人一贯的克制与细腻。
少了人声，这张专辑让你能更纯粹地听见 beat 本身的语言。每一首都是一个完整的世界，你可以拿来 freestyle、拿来写歌、拿来开车放，也可以拿来什么都不做，只是沉浸。
对于听过 vocal 版本的听众来说，这是重新解构的体验；对于喜欢纯 beat、或想找灵感的创作者来说，这是一张可以反复播放、不会打扰你思绪的作品。
《.JPG Vol.1: The Instrumentals》
 不是伴奏，不是demo，而是完整、独立、能站得住的节奏作品。
 让节奏自己说话，让空白自己呼吸。

.JPG Vol.1: The Instrumentals
A collection for those who understand rhythm, silence, and the art of breathing.
Following the release of the full-length album “.JPG Vol.1,” RPG and JL22 return with “.JPG Vol.1 – The Instrumentals,” a pure beat version that goes beyond simply complementing the original—it allows rhythm, sampling, and negative space to speak for themselves.
Producer JL22 continues his signature sample-based aesthetic, slicing fragments from a wide range of sounds through his Maschine and rebuilding them into vibrant, warm sonic landscapes. The overall sound pays homage to boom bap legends like J Dilla, 9th Wonder, Madlib, and The Alchemist, while maintaining JL22’s distinct restraint and finesse.
With the vocals stripped away, this album invites listeners to fully experience the language of the beats. Each track is its own self-contained world—you can freestyle to it, write to it, drive with it, or simply do nothing at all and let yourself sink in.
For those who’ve heard the vocal version, this is a chance to hear the album deconstructed. For beat lovers and creatives seeking inspiration, this is a project built for deep listening and replay—never intrusive, always immersive.
“.JPG Vol.1 – The Instrumentals”
 Not just backing tracks. Not demos.
 These are full, self-standing rhythm compositions.
 Let the beats speak. Let the silence breathe.

RPG与JL22睽违十六年再度联手推出全新嘻哈专辑《.JPG Vol.1》
本格派饶舌歌手RPG与嘻哈音乐制作人JL22，睽违16年再度携手，推出全新合作专辑《.JPG Vol.1》。本作不仅是两位音乐人自2008年以来首次完整合体的创作，更是他们对嘻哈文化持续热情与进化的体现。

2008年两人合作的单曲〈Tainan, I’m Back〉曾登上StreetVoice周排行榜冠军，成为不少老派乐迷心中的经典。即便当时的合作时间不长，两人在之后各自的音乐旅程依然精彩。

RPG在近年陆续推出多首点击破百万的作品，包括〈黑人问号.jpg〉、〈浪子的路〉、〈So in Love with You〉、〈38F〉等，更以单曲〈UNITY〉号召全台嘻哈创作者共同参与Remix计画，成功掀起一波网路话题，副歌“把饼做大”也成为一时流行语。

JL22则从早期与蛋堡、Jnco、RPG、满人等人的合作起家，近年再度回归音乐制作，担任网路节目《有够难约》的配乐制作人，持续展现其精致的取样功力。
《.JPG Vol.1》整体风格延续JL22擅长的取样制作美学，融合经典 boom bap 节奏，若你喜欢 J Dilla、9th Wonder、DJ Premier、Madlib、The Alchemist 等制作人，便能体会本作的致敬与巧思。RPG则在本张专辑中展现其创作生涯以来最坦率的叙事风格，从自我揭露、社会观察、情感描写到生命历练，逐首呈现出一幅幅音乐叙事画面，带领听者走进他身为音乐人与普通人之间的转换与挣扎。

《.JPG Vol.1》是两位创作者历经时间淬炼后所交出的诚意之作。不是复古的复制贴上，也不是刻意讨好市场的制作，而是一张来自内心的嘻哈作品。

RPG and JL22 Reunite After 16 Years with New Hip-Hop Album ".JPG Vol.1"
Renowned Taiwanese rapper RPG and hip-hop producer JL22 reunite after 16 years to release their brand-new collaborative album, “.JPG Vol.1.” More than just a musical project, the album marks a creative milestone for the duo, rekindling the chemistry they first sparked in 2008.
Their previous collaboration, “Tainan, I’m Back,” topped the StreetVoice weekly chart and became a cult classic among early Taiwanese hip-hop fans. While the duo pursued separate musical paths afterward, both continued to make significant marks in the scene.
RPG has released several hit tracks over the years, including “NickYoung.jpg,” “Heartbreak Blvd.,” “So in Love with You,” and “38F,” each earning millions of streams. His track “UNITY” also created a viral moment in the Taiwanese hip-hop community, inspiring dozens of artists to contribute remixes. Its hook, “Make the pie bigger,” became a rallying cry across social media.
JL22, known for his early works with Soft Lipa, JNCO, RPG, and Manchuker, returned to music production in recent years and took the role of music producer for the hit online show “有够难约” (Hard to Book). His signature sample-based style continues to evolve, blending nostalgia with technical finesse.
“.JPG Vol.1” fully embraces JL22’s sample-heavy, boom bap-inspired production, drawing influence from legendary producers like J Dilla, 9th Wonder, DJ Premier, Madlib, and The Alchemist. Meanwhile, RPG delivers his most honest lyrical work to date—eschewing current trends and instead digging deep into personal experiences, social commentary, emotional introspection, and self-reflection. Together, the tracks form vivid snapshots of RPG’s journey, portraying his growth, passion, and resilience as an artist.
This is not a retro throwback, nor a trend-chasing release. “.JPG Vol.1” is a heartfelt hip-hop album shaped by time, skill, and sincerity—proof that when two veterans come together with nothing to prove, the results speak louder than words.

“一样全白的Air Force 1 / Timberland只穿经典款 / 90’s的歌单 素T加棒外 / 心里那个Gangsta最舒适的状态”...《心里那个Gangsta》 by RPG x JL22
台湾的兄弟听慢摇，哪有在听hip-hop？嘻哈仔写著黑帮生活的歌词，在看似不伦不类的同时，某种程度是在满足对于喜欢的作品中描述lifestyle的向往，仔细想想通常大家都知道嘴秋一下就好，不会真的gang gang，但哪一个嘻哈仔心里没有那个想像中的Gangsta？
While some folks in Taiwan are vibing to club beats, there’s a whole other crowd writing about that gangsta life. Let’s be real: we all know it’s just a fantasy—no one’s really out here gang-banging. But every hip-hop head’s got that imaginary Gangsta deep down, a role that’s more about the vibe than the reality. "The Inner Gangsta" is all about embracing that fantasy. From the way we dress to the way we carry ourselves, from 90s G-Funk to now, we’ve changed over time, but that inner Gangsta stays with us. This track is a salute to that feeling. Whether we’re living wild in our youth or growing up and handling life, that inner Gangsta is always there, moving with the music.

“I love what I do 既然这样的话 / I do what I do 不可能放得下 把时间拿来付 / 付到不会time’s up / I’ve made my mind up / 永远around the clock”... by RPG x JL22 ft. BR - Around the Clock

从小家里就要我们不要那么大力玩社团，出社会后要我们好好去上个班，在尽力负责的同时，只要还有办法就会继续唱，永远around the clock。
From a young age, we were told not to take our passions too seriously, and after stepping into adulthood, society expected us to settle for a stable job. But RPG, JL22, and BR have always known that their love for music runs deeper than any 9-to-5 grind. Around the Clock is more than just a song—it's a statement of dedication, a testament to the grind that never stops.
While others clock out, these three are still in the studio, fueled by their passion, and ready to outwork the clock. This track stands as a declaration of their relentless pursuit of music, showing that they’ll give everything, day or night, to keep their dreams alive. It’s not about fame or fortune; it’s about love and endurance. If you’ve ever been driven by passion, Around the Clock will resonate deeply with you.

Black MIC

蛋头BG8Locc

在“UNITY”大型remix计画后，RPG找回了两位计画的老班底，一样boom-bap的Black MIC、以及巨量曲风都能轻松驾驭的“风格教科书”BG8LOCC，一起加入了Training Day的献声阵容当中。

JL22打磨的beat以行进速度较慢的70bpm作为基底，结合出了充满张力与凶残音色的modern boom-bap风格，三位在自己的创作生涯虽然摄取著不全然相同的基底养份，但议题上我们是说著共同语言的饶舌歌手，在JL这个狠辣的beat上展现出各自的样貌。三段听感截然不同的flow设计中把对于嘻哈人生的体验，无论是美好的、现实的、功利的还是残酷的各种面向，有如教育班长在干训班喷飞新兵一样毫无保留地分享出来。

如果你也有想过要尝试这样的嘻哈人生，请务必先来Training Day，这首歌如同一次残酷的训练课程，要你正视嘻哈音乐产业中的真实面貌，或许会打破许多你对嘻哈音乐产业中不切实际的粉红泡泡，但绝对字字血泪，句句属实。

Hip-hop heads from Taiwan will surely remember the iconic “UNITY” remix project. This time, RPG reunites the original crew, featuring the boom-bap master Black MIC and the "Style Bible" BG8LOCC, both known for their versatility and unique flair. Together, they team up to deliver a powerful performance on Training Day.

Produced by JL22, the track builds on a slow 70 bpm tempo, fusing a fierce modern boom-bap sound with aggressive textures. The three rappers effortlessly shine on this beat, each delivering their unique take on the realities of the hip-hop grind. Through distinct flows, RPG, Black MIC, and BG8LOCC express the highs and lows, the beauty and brutality, of their hip-hop journey.

Training Day isn’t just a song; it’s a boot camp for those who dream of entering the hip-hop world. The raw truths laid bare in their lyrics will shatter any unrealistic illusions you might have about the music industry. If you’ve ever considered living the hip-hop life, this track is your initiation. Every word is soaked in real-life experience, and every line carries the weight of truth.
