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 only black 2016 presidential candidate Ben Carson, who was running Republican.[6]

The album is 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 album was originally released with a different cover art in 2016, but was later (2020) removed and replaced with a new mix of the album, with many differences from the original. It includes all of the instrumentals for each track, making the re-release 38 tracks and 146 minutes long, as compared to the original's 19 tracks and 73 minute runtime. These instrumental tracks had unusual titles, like "bbc" for the "Black Ben Carson" instrumental, and "uncured bacon" for the "I Just Killed A Cop Now I'm Horny" instrumental. These titles were then replaced with "*song title* (Instrumental)" in January 2021 on all streaming platforms.

Black Ben Carson was named the best Baltimore album of 2016 by the Baltimore City Paper.[7]

On May 16, 2023, Black Ben Carson was re-released with the cover art used for the original release, on streaming platforms. On Bandcamp, the cover art is of JPEGMafia performing. On streaming platforms, there is a separate release of Black Ben Carson with all tracks and all instrumentals.
