History of the EBK Group

Malik Lott, also known by his alias EBK Osama, is credited with founding EBK (EveryBody Killa), a subset gang based in the Nightingale neighborhood of Stockton, California. The group is believed to have been established sometime between 2015 and 2016.

In 2018, the Stockton Police Department officially classified EBK (EveryBody Killa) as a criminal street gang due to its escalating involvement in violent and organized criminal activity. This designation followed a pattern of increasing surveillance and law enforcement scrutiny. The following year, in 2019, an investigation into the group's activities resulted in the arrest of nine individuals connected to EBK, further solidifying law enforcement’s stance on the organization’s classification.

EBK has developed a number of significant rivalries, most notably with the FlyBoyz—also known as Trapmob, FB, or 3z—as well as the Muddy Boyz (MB) and the Northside Gangster Crips (NSGC). The FlyBoyz and Muddy Boyz are affiliated with notable local rap artists such as MBNel and Bkandzmb3z, while Jeremy Meeks, who rose to national attention as the "hot felon" and later transitioned into modeling, has known affiliations with the NSGC. EBK has publicly targeted rival gangs through music, often using their platforms to issue direct verbal disses. One of the most prominent examples is the track “F*ck Everybody” by EBK Jaaybo, in which he explicitly names and disrespects individuals associated with opposing gangs. The song rapidly gained attention, amassing over 4 million views on YouTube within just two months of its release.

The conflict between EBK and these rival groups—particularly the FlyBoyz and Muddy Boyz—did not emerge overnight. These tensions reportedly began with early collaborations and personal associations among members, which later deteriorated into hostility due to street politics and personal disputes. Over time, these disagreements escalated into a deeper feud marked by diss tracks, social media threats, and suspected acts of retaliation.

Key affiliates of EBK include Jaaybo and Osama’s brother, EBK Young Joc, as well as the late Young Slo-be, both of whom were prominent figures in the group’s early development. Initially, these individuals were all part of the rap collective known as EBK Hotboiiz, a music group that garnered local attention but ultimately disbanded in 2021. The split was reportedly due to allegations involving Khari Moore—also known as Hari B and the brother of EBK Young Joc—who was accused of cooperating with law enforcement in a drug distribution conspiracy case allegedly involving Osama.

This internal conflict led to the division of the original group into two factions: EveryBody Killa and Every Brother Kount. Despite the initial tension between these groups, relations began to ease following the tragic death of Young Slo-be in 2022. While the reconciliation was not complete, it marked a shift towards a more uneasy truce between the two sides.

Notably, members affiliated with both factions have released new music under the original EBK Hotboiiz name as recently as 2025, signaling some degree of continued collaboration despite past divisions.
