SOB X RBE
American hip hop group
SOB X RBE (an acronym of Strictly Only Brothers x Real Boi Entertainment) is an American hip hop group founded in 2016. The group consisted of Slimmy B (Jabbar Brown), Yhung T.O. (Juwon Lee), DaBoii (Wayman Barrow), and Lul G (George Harris). The group met as teenagers in the Bay Area of California, with influence from West Coast figures in the area's hip hop scene. They are best known for their 2018 song "Paramedic!," which entered the Billboard Hot 100 and was included on the Kendrick Lamar-curated Black Panther film soundtrack. The group disbanded the following year, mainly due to the incarceration of member Lul G, who was convicted of murdering 26-year-old Rashied Flowers in July 2019.
