Jahlil Beats was born in Chester, Pennsylvania. At the age of 12, he started learning audio engineering concepts, and building a passion for music under the guidance of his father (who was in a band) and cousin.[2] By age fifteen he taught his brother, Anthony Tucker The Beat Bully how to produce music and they began making beats together. In high school they would give their beats out to friends to rap over.[1] Jahlil would then go on to college before losing his financial aid and having to drop out.[3]
So many people didn't even know that was a Lloyd Banks beat. Did you originally give it to Banks? Shout out to Banks, he's a cool dude. He just put it on the back burner. Maybe he didn't like it or maybe he wasn't rocking with it at the time. It didn't even go on his mixtape. He dropped the mixtape a couple of weeks later and it didn't go on that. People forgot about it. I sent him like four or five beats and he was like "Yo, I'm gonna rock with that joint." That was that. He did "Jackpot" and I guess he didn't use it. Two years later, the kid Bobby downloads a beat off the mixtape. I had put it on my mixtape called Crack Music 6. That's how he got the record. All these rumors like "yo, Banks need publishing for that," no, that's not true.
Jungle Beats vs. Jahlil Beats Holla At Me refers to a common mishearing of rap producer Jahlil Beats' producer tag as "Jungle beats holla at me," when it actually says, "Jahlil Beats holla at me." The mishearing has been the subject of memes, most frequently image macros and shitposts, since the early-to-mid 2010s.
Hip-hop producer Jahlil Beats is known for using a producer tag in his tracks that says in a high-pitch voice, "Jahlil Beats holla at me," a tag which can be found in songs throughout his career (shown below). The tag is frequently misheard as saying "jungle beats" rather than "Jahlil Beats," a phenomenon that can be seen in comment sections featuring the beat dating back to at least 2015.[1]
It is unknown who made the first meme about the mishearing. Some of the earliest memes referencing it were collected by ME.ME[2] in 2018 and uploaded to Reddit's /r/okbuddyretard[3] in February 2019, including a screenshotted tweet from a now-deleted account talking about the mistake and a shitpost of Cleveland Brown from Family Guy falling off a cliff, "jungle beats holla at me" over it (shown below, left and right),
On October 22nd, 2019, Jahlil Beats did an interview with Genius[4] about the making of his and Bobby Shmurda's song "Hot Nigga." At timestamp 4:08, he admits that the tag sounds like "jungle beats" or "Jell-o beats" when compressed, and laughs about it (shown below).
In 2020, memes referencing the jungle beats vs. Jahlil Beats debate became more popular. On July 7th, 2020, Instagram[5] page @funnyhoodvidz posted an image macro using the phrase "jungle beats holla at me," originally posted by now-deleted Twitter user @Senatorhagner, gaining over 390,000 likes in a year (shown below, left). On August 31st, iFunny[6] user CamOutOfNoWhere posted a Better Call Saul themed meme referencing the mishearing in the context of a court hearing, gaining over 4,000 smiles in a year (shown below, right).
So I started off sampling old records just trying to figure out how to structure my beats. Where to place my kick drum or snare, how to pick the right kick or snare, where to place the right hi hat things like that. Then I gradually started to create my own sound. The Sytrus plugin was my go to.
Working since 2018 he has almost 18 mixtapes he has created and has produced music for artist such as Lil Wayne, Diddy, Jay-Z, Meek Mill, Chris Brown, Tyga, T.I, 50 Cent and many more.

The style of producing he undertakes involves using sourced samples from a wide range of music to weave together distinct beats.
