San Joaquin County Jail, like most jails, records and monitors inmate phone calls. When EBK Young Joc calls for our interview, the Stockton, California-born rapper is understandably wary of saying anything the Sheriff’s Department might characterize as incriminating. Granted, the connection on his prison-issue tablet is full of static, his grumbled and half-whispered words rarely rising above it.
“I can’t talk too much over the phone. I wish I was out, so we could do a real interview,” Joc explains during a brief discussion of his early work with rap group-turned-clique EBK Hotboiiz. “They be trying to indict us. We’re already known in Stockton. They’re probably going to take this call somewhere else and use it as evidence.”
Incarcerated since December for unlawful possession of a firearm, the 22-year-old has spent the first half of his five-month sentence reading urban fiction, writing, and talking to his mother and his girlfriend. He also makes frequent calls to staff at , the Oakland-based blog-turned-media company that promotes and partners with Bay Area and Central Valley rappers.
