Jabari Banks is stepping into his next era — and he’s doing it with intention. The Bel-Air star, already known for carrying one of TV’s biggest reboots, officially plants his flag in music with ULTRA, his debut EP under Epic Records. After warming up listeners with “Something Else” and “Weekend Drive,” which collectively racked up millions of streams, Jabari arrives with an eight-track project that leans into his smooth R&B roots while pulling out a bolder, steamier side. It’s the type of debut that makes it clear he’s not dabbling in music — he’s building a world, and he’s comfortable being both the narrator and the heartthrob at the center of it.
ULTRA plays like a cinematic diary, drawing from his acting background without feeling overly scripted. Songs like “Lobby” and “Make Up Sex” show a storyteller tapping into vulnerability, temptation, and self-reflection, while “In My Head” brings a playful twist that rounds out the emotional ride. By the time he reaches the title track and the closing prayer on “Amen,” it’s obvious this project is personal — a checkpoint for someone growing through fame, artistry, and young adulthood all at once. With the final season of Bel-Air on the way, Jabari is proving he’s more than a breakout TV talent. He’s a rising R&B voice with a point of view, and ULTRA is his official introduction.
