LP! is the fourth studio album by American rapper JPEGMafia. Released on 22 October 2021, his 32nd birthday, LP! is JPEGMafia's final studio album released with Republic Records and EQT Recordings.[9] LP! has two versions: an "online" version which was the version released on streaming services, and an "offline" version which was released on YouTube, SoundCloud, and Bandcamp, featuring a slightly different tracklist due to sample-related issues. The album includes guest appearances from DatPiffMafia, Kimbra, Tkay Maidza, and Denzel Curry (online version only).

Upon release, LP! received acclaim among music critics and publications, with some critics naming the offline version of the album as JPEGMafia's best album.

On December 22, 2022, JPEGMafia released a remaster of the "offline" version on vinyl, CD and USB stick.

On May 23, 2023, JPEGMafia released the remastered "offline" version to streaming platforms.
