MUSIC: JPEGMAFIA JPEGMAFIA is a hip-hop maverick who pushes boundaries with unflinching audacity. Born in New York, he spent his early years in Flatbush before moving to Alabama at 13, where he experienced a heightened level of racism that deeply influenced his music. At 18, he joined the U.S. Air Force, served in Iraq and was honorably discharged after standing up against abuse by his superiors. JPEG’s sound is a whirlwind of broken beats, eclectic samples, and an abrasive, sneering flow laced with sharp societal and political commentaries. The beats are a patchwork of inspirations, from Kanye West to Ol’ Dirty Bastard and MF Doom; he also takes influence from deep-cut anime like Cowboy Bebop and Wolf’s Rain. And his fifth studio album, I Lay Down My Life For You, was set to drop a week before he hits the Brooklyn Bowl stage. 7 p.m., $42+, Brooklyn Bowl, ticketmaster.com. –Gabriela Rodriguez

MISC: GAME NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM The balance between diplomacy and nuclear warfare may be stressful to most, but it can also be unexpectedly fun, as War Games shows us. The Las Vegas-based developer of the tabletop game Proliferation: The Game of Nuclear Strategy is co-hosting a game night with the Atomic Museum. War Games’ creative team will lead matches, recommended for ages 13 and older, while museum team members are on hand to answer questions about the history of nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site. Players will select a player, expand their economy and engage in diplomacy, alliances and other tactics. In the backdrop, artifacts from our nuclear testing history will be on display. Unsettling, you say? Nah. It’s just some good, wholesome fun with nuclear warfare mixed in. 6 p.m., $20, Atomic Museum, atomicMuseum.vegas. –Shannon Miller

MUSIC: JHENÉ AIKO A rare and particular jewel in the often undistinguished world of R&B, Los Angeles native Jhené Aiko has been disarming audiences with her own brand of soothing soul since the early aughts. Aiko’s music often invokes the warm, sensuous style of Janet Jackson, while at other times, she will infuse deeply emotional messages into seemingly chill tracks, a la Sade—as she does on breezy brand-new single “Guidance,” which incorporates several of Aiko’s signature subtle, twirling vocal runs, reminiscent of one of her all-time faves, Brandy. “Guidance” has fans hoping a new album might be on the way, but Aiko just started the second half of her Magic Hour tour in her hometown that continues to showcase her 2020 work Chilombo. Now the tour lands on the Strip with standout supporting acts Coi Leray, Tink, Kiana Ledé and Umi. 7 p.m., $109+, MGM Grand Garden
