"Jabee's music has the potential to change the world." -Chuck D
Jabee is a rapper born and raised from Oklahoma City. While his hometown is not known for its hip hop culture, his accomplishments have garnered national attention. During the NBA lockout, Kevin Durant, had Jabee perform at his All-Star NBA game. Towards the end of 2013 Jabee was an opener for EL-P & Killer Mike on the "Run The Jewels Tour". Following the RTJ tour, Murs caught wind of Jabee and offered him a one off LP deal on Murs' label, 316.
Dropping in December of 2013, Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt debuted at #50 on the iTunes charts. Jabee spent much of 2014 touring with Murs as the main supporting act on his "Ice Box" Tour, becoming one of hip-hop's fastest rising stars. An Emmy award winner for his performance on "What If", a solo commercial he wrote and styled for the Science Museum of Oklahoma, Jabee was later featured on Shade 45 in NYC and interviewed by Sway of "Sway in The Morning" and MTV fame. Jabee's single "Stephanie", produced by El-P and featuring Carlitta Durand (Little Brother Foreign Exchange), premiered on COMPLEX & Toca Tuesdays w/ DJ TONY TOUCH and Showoff Radio with Statik Selektah on SHADE 45.
