Early Life and Education

Jaymani Gorman was born on August 22, 2003, in Stockton, California, a city known for its high crime rates and economic struggles.

His father, James ‘Rrari’ Gorman, an aspiring rapper, introduced him to music by taking him to a recording studio as a child, but was fatally shot in 2015.

Jaymani grew up in the Nightingale neighborhood alongside his siblings—EBK Bckdoe, EBK Osama, EBK Tootie, and Gleeko Riccoo—all of whom are rappers.

Raised in a challenging environment marked by gang violence and poverty, Jaymani’s education took a backseat to music, with no formal academic details documented. His ethnicity is African American, and his religious beliefs are not publicly disclosed.

Career

Jaymani Gorman, known as EBK Jaaybo, began rapping in 2018 at age 15, joining his cousin EBK Young Joc’s group, EBK HotBoiiz.

His early track “56 Nights” (2019) gained traction in Stockton’s underground scene, reflecting his gritty experiences.

After serving a 1.5-year sentence for firearm possession, he released “Step The Hardest” in December 2020, which became a local hit.

His 2024 single “Boogieman,” produced by Yvnng Ecko, marked his mainstream breakthrough, charting on Billboard and amassing millions of streams.

His album The Reaper (2024), released while incarcerated, featured 21 tracks like “Pops Punch Me In” and “Do Not Disturb,” earning praise from Pitchfork for its “blunt diss records” and emotional depth.

Despite legal setbacks, including arrests in 2021, 2023, and 2025 for firearm, drug, and ammunition charges, Jaaybo continued to release music.

In February 2025, he dropped “The Biggest G,” which garnered 1.5 million YouTube views in a week.

His March 2025 arrest in Stockton for drug and ammunition possession, followed by a May 2025 arrest in Arkansas for similar charges—alongside theft and prohibited weapon use—has raised questions about his participation in NBA YoungBoy’s “MASA Tour.”

His 2025 project Don’t Trust Me and singles like “Fck Everybody (Free Maxx)”* reflect his defiance and strong ties to his EBK (EveryBody Killa) roots, a group founded by his late brother EBK Osama.

Jaaybo’s music, often targeting rival gangs like FlyBoyz and Muddy Boyz, continues to fuel both his popularity and the legal scrutiny surrounding his career.
