Jabee - The Spirit Is Willing, But The Flesh Is Weak

Jabee is a rapper from Oklahoma City whose music, according to Chuck D. from Public Enemy, “has the potential to change the world.”

Jabee’s debut Mello Music Group album “The Spirit Is Willing, But The Flesh Is Weak” - a street bound, light-filled, east side rap journey featuring Conductor Williams, Apollo Brown, Marv Won, Quelle Chris, M. Stacks and Evidence. The 3-time Emmy award-winning emcee dives deep into his personal experiences, solidifying his role as a voice for his community.

Emerging from a space of personal upheaval and loss, Jabee pours his soul into each track, crafting a poignant narrative of resilience and authenticity. The album kicks off with vivid metaphors painting life’s emotional spectrum, while Jabee confronts the exhaustion of dealing with false friendships and explores trauma through the cathartic power of music. With every beat and lyric, Jabee’s unwavering commitment to his community and his craft shines through, turning pain into poetry and hardship into art, making this album a powerful testament to the human spirit’s ability to endure and overcome.

Jabee has toured with Run the Jewels (Killer Mike and El-P) and Murs, and has been featured on Sway in the Morning, MTV, XXL, Complex, The Source and Vibe. He has also performed at Kevin Durant’s celebrity basketball game and Russell Westbrook’s celebrity comedy show.  Jabee’s new album is the start of his next chapter with Mello Music Group.
