EBK Young Joc “Back Hooping” Review: Stockton’s New Street Anthem

Stockton’s Most Wanted: EBK Young Joc and Peysoh Bridge the Gap with “Back Hooping”

If you’ve been tapped into the Northern California rap scene lately, you know the name EBK Young Joc carries a specific kind of weight. He’s the face of Stockton’s raw, unfiltered sound—a style defined by whispery flows and lyrics that feel like a direct look into the city’s grit.

His latest drop, “Back Hooping,” featuring Southern California heavy-hitter Peysoh, isn’t just another single. It’s a cross-state link-up that proves the “Norte to Sur” connection is stronger than ever in 2026.

More Than Just a Game

Despite the title, Joc and Peysoh aren’t talking about hitting jump shots on the blacktop. In the EBK lexicon, “hooping” is about the hustle, the movement, and the high-stakes reality of the Stockton streets.

The track is a standout from Joc’s new project, End Of The World, and it hits exactly how you’d expect:

  • The Beat: It’s got that signature West Coast bounce—menacing piano loops paired with bass that’s heavy enough to rattle a trunk.

  • The Chemistry: Joc’s laid-back, almost conversational delivery plays perfectly against Peysoh’s sharper, more aggressive energy.

  • The Message: Coming off a year filled with internet rumors and camp tensions, “Back Hooping” feels like a “business as usual” statement. It’s about staying focused on the bag and the brothers, regardless of the noise.

Why Joc is Still the One to Watch

Since he burst onto the scene with “Jokes Up,” Joc has had a target on his back and a spotlight on his face. He’s managed to navigate the “arduous climb” of the industry without losing the authentic, slightly dark humor that made him a viral sensation in the first place.

While some artists try to polish their sound for the mainstream, “Back Hooping” shows that Joc is doubling down on the Stockton “grit-hop” that his fans crave. It’s loud, it’s unapologetic, and it’s meant to be played at maximum volume.

Where to Listen

“Back Hooping” is officially out now on all streaming platforms. If you’re looking for the soundtrack to your next late-night drive or a high-energy gym session, this is it.
