The Bel-Air star debuts with a silky rap-and-R&B combo on ULTRA, his highly anticipated first EP now available via Epic Records. Jabari, rising R&B artist and the BET and NAACP Award-nominated actor from Peacock’s hit drama Bel-Air, makes his formal musical introduction with a project that fully showcases his range as both an entertainer and storyteller.

Following the buzz-building singles Something Else and Weekend Drive, which together generated over 2 million streams and more than half a million video views, Jabari delivers an eight-track body of work that expands on his foundation of downbeat R&B while embracing a steamier, more sultry side. The result is a daring debut that positions him as one of Hollywood’s most multifaceted heartthrobs, seamlessly merging his charisma on-screen with his artistry in the studio.
His on-screen background informs the storytelling of ULTRA, which plays like a short film written by a hopeless romantic navigating love, temptation, and self-discovery. From the cinematic opening Lobby to the emotionally vulnerable Makeup Sex and the playful “what if” narrative of In My Head, the project takes listeners on an exhilarating ride through the complexities of passion and growth. It builds toward Ultra, its namesake centerpiece, before closing with Amen, where his grandmother’s prayer roots the project in gratitude and faith.
“ULTRA feels like unlocking a time capsule of the last four years,” says Jabari. “It carries the highs and lows, the lessons, and the love that shaped me, and it’s my way of showing the world that music has always been at the center of my story. More than anything, I hope it speaks to anyone navigating their own journey of dreams and growth.”
The arrival of ULTRA comes at a pivotal time in his career. The PG County, Maryland native has captivated Hollywood with his breakout role as Will on Bel-Air, earning nominations from both the BET Awards and NAACP Awards. With the show’s fourth and final season premiering on November 24th, Jabari marks this transition by stepping confidently into music, a passion that has guided him since his teenage years. With ULTRA, he proves he is more than a breakout TV star — he is a multi-hyphenate creative force ready to define his own lane in R&B.
