NBA YoungBoy's tour is set to revisit the spotlight after a five-year hiatus, marked by Donald Trump's controversial pardon of the rapper for weapon charges. Meanwhile, key opener EBK Jaaybo faces legal troubles of his own, raising questions about his participation. Jaaybo emerged from a troubled past to become a significant voice in California's rap scene, drawing influence from the harsh realities of his surroundings. His mixtape, Don't Trust Me, embodies the rawness of his experiences with songs that delve into themes of violence and loss, highlighting the complexities of gangsta rap authenticity in today's music landscape.
In America, celebrating the criminal will never be far from the surface, and it’s becoming a distraction as gun violence continues to rise. A different beat for jazz from the past has become the rap of today.
Jaaybo reaches deeper into the personal to expose violence and tragedy in a way that hip-hop often covers up when vocalizing narratives of success.
