EBK Jaaybo drops a melodic new single amid some legal troubles that may put his status for NBA YoungBoy’s tour in danger.

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.

EBK Jaaybo - “Someone You Love”

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

T.I. has been hinting at his supposed final album Kill The King for quite some time, and it now feels like that moment is getting closer. He recently posted a clip showing himself cutting off his dreadlocks while previewing a new track produced by Pharrell Williams, which has since been released as “Let Em Know.” The song comes across as tough and rhythm driven, tapping into the kind of bounce that has defined much of the Atlanta rapper’s strongest work over the years. It might not fully persuade everyone that he is operating at his absolute peak, but there is no denying the confidence and personality he brings to the instrumental, riding it with an easy swagger and infectious momentum. Now the focus turns to what T.I. ultimately delivers with this farewell project, which fans are hoping arrives sooner rather than later.   

Release Date: January 18, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Kill The King

Quotable Lyrics from Let Em Know

Big dog, all we get is bread, I ain't never scared,
Big flex on a n***a head, what I'm standing on?
Business, big check, we done did that,
Pushing whips back, better give me respect and some more
