Jason Lee, founder of the media brand Hollywood Unlocked, has won the District 6 seat on the Stockton City Council, marking a return to his childhood hometown. Lee, who first led in the March primary with nearly 42% of the vote, clinched the general election against incumbent Kimberley Warmsley with 55.7% of the total vote, according to Stocktonia.
This victory reflects Lee’s commitment to engaging with his roots in Stockton, where he plans to focus on community-driven initiatives and local development. His transition from entertainment mogul to public servant has garnered widespread attention, signaling a new chapter for Stockton’s leadership.
EBK Young Joc is quickly becoming one of the hottest rappers out of California. Hailing from Stockton, he’s undeniably the face of his hometown’s newly-emerging rap scene.
In August 2022, however, one of his closest collaborators, Young Slo-Be was tragically shot and killed at just 29. The pair were actively working together to put Stockton on the map. Slo-Be’s viral single, “I Love You” and the duo’s countless music videos with each other were allowing them to do just that.
Now, Young Joc is proudly carrying the torch. Last year, he dropped several singles, including “Need Love,” as well as his fifth mixtape, City Of God. He’s kicking off 2023 with “Prada Steppin,” a new collaboration with Big Sad 1900.
On the fiery new track, the pair of California natives exchange verses addressing their realities, vices and designer clothes. Young Joc kicks off the track, rapping “You know I’m in my bag, that is not a question / Bro be Louis kickin’, b*tch, I’m Prada steppin’ / Boss spent twenty on that chain, now he ain’t got a necklace.”
Big Sad follows suit accordingly. “Told the b*tch, give me money, I don’t need love / Told my family, y’all can let it be, I’m dyin’ with the thugs / Need to spend more time with my son, I’m out here doin’ drugs,” he spits explicitly.
