Stockton, California rapper EBK Jaaybo is back with a new single. The 21-year-old put out a new project earlier this year, titled Don’t Trust Me. Now, he seems to have a bit more to say on his new track, “Someone You Love.”
The new track from EBK Jaaybo has a very familiar style. It operates in the same melodic rap lane as people like Lil Durk or Rod Wave. Lyrically, the track is very similar to something they may have done as well. “Why there so much pain in my life? These diamonds don't mean nothing, man, I changed, on my life” is how he opens the verse. From there, it’s more sing-rapping about his girl and waxing about those he’s lost.
It is not entirely clear if this single is part of a rollout or if he wanted to just get something out there, but it’s a solid track.
In June, XXL released the entire 2025 Freshman list. Jaaybo’s name was among the ones that the publication selected. He made (a dubious kind of) history by becoming the first person on any of the Freshman covers to ever film their freestyle from jail. In May, Arkansas police arrested him for drug possession, illegal weapon possession, and possession of stolen property.
Jaaybo was set to open for YoungBoy Never Broke Again on the Make America Slime Again tour, but his availability is obviously in question now. YoungBoy’s tour begins in September. If Jaaybo is able to be part of it, you will be able to see him live there. For now, take a listen to “Someone You Love” below.
Quotable Lyrics:
Why there so much pain in my life?
These diamonds don't mean nothing, man, I changed, on my life
I know she only love me 'cause my name, that ain't right
She told me choose the streets or her, that's too hard to decide, yeah
But I didn't feel betrayed, but protected by these angels
Dumb as fuck, he falling for these bitches that ain't faithful
Anyone hoping Tyler The Creator is about to release a full jazz album may want to lower their expectations. The Odd Future founder has long incorporated jazz elements into both his music and production style. No matter which creative direction he chooses for a project, traces of jazz can be heard throughout much of his discography. Because of that, many fans have spent years wondering what it would sound like if he fully embraced the genre for an entire album.
Recent hints have sparked speculation that new music could be on the horizon. However, when an Instagram account suggested that a "new era" was approaching and claimed Tyler would dive further into his jazz influences, the rapper quickly dismissed the rumor. "not at all lol and do not get stuck on this idea please," he responded.
One reason fans began theorizing about a possible new project was a subtle update to Tyler's Instagram bio. According to Complex, the bio now says, "Satchmo, Sag Harbor," a phrase that appears to reference Louis Armstrong's famous nickname, Satchmo, as well as Sag Harbor, New York, a village known for serving as a refuge for Black families during the Jim Crow era.
While there is still no confirmation that Tyler will release new music this year, fans can look forward to the return of Camp Flog Gnaw. The annual festival is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on November 14 and 15. As is tradition, the full lineup has not yet been announced, but Tyler's attention to detail and track record with the event suggest attendees will have plenty to be excited about.
We will continue sharing any developments involving Tyler The Creator as they emerge. In the meantime, fans remain hopeful that new music will eventually arrive as a follow up to Chromakopia and Don’t Tap The Glass. Check out his comments above and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
