Jamaal Ashby (born August 18, 1991), known by his stage name Eddy Baker, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Ontario, California.[1] In 2011, he joined Raider Klan, the underground rap supergroup that popularized Phonk, a genre of trap inspired by 90s Memphis-rap, horrorcore, and niche internet phenomena.[1][2][3] In 2012, Baker released Edibles, his first mixtape, under Raider Klan Records. The following year, he performed at Coachella as a part of Raider Klan.[4] Months later, Baker left the group and started Healthy Boyz alongside rappers Chilly Sosa and Celes Karter.[5] In 2014, Healthy Boyz joined a four-crew supergroup, Seshollowaterboyz (abbreviated as SHWB), with Bones' TeamSESH, Xavier Wulf's Hollow Squad, and Chris Travis' Water Boyz.[6][7][5] SHWB toured and released music regularly until 2020, when COVID-19 forced a global suspension of in-person concerts and Chris Travis (along with Water Boyz, his subsidiary) parted ways with the larger group. In May 2020, Eddy Baker started Blunt Talk,[8] a podcast with co-host Chilly Sosa about current events and spirituality.
