He currently has one RIAA certification, that being his one gold plaque from Popular American rapper Lil Tjay's "Destined 2 Win" album. The album is currently Gold.
He was born into a fragmented family. His dad left at age 4, and he had to witness his mom get over her addictions, and a lot of domestic abuse. However, he didn't take to his environment and instead stayed home, thus learning a lot of things on his own. Jabari was always super curious and excelled in school throughout his youth which he is still continuing. Although his grandma tried her hand at music in her young days, Jabari has no real musical training. He did however listen to a large variety of music because of his grandma, and his own musical curiosity.
JabariOnTheBeat started making beats in 2017, but he didn't get serious about producing until 2018. High School as a whole for him was tough because, although he was clearly smart and did accomplished many academic feats, he struggled with his depression a lot and was hospitalized to the psych ward on two suicide attempts in 2017.
After the second hospitalization, Jabari started making beats on his computer using FL Studio and he fell in love instantly. At first, he used it as an outlet of sorts, but he began putting a tremendous amount of hours into it. Around the same time Jabari jumped into producing, he got accepted on a full-tuition scholarship to Middlebury college via the Posse scholarship.
College life in Vermont didn't go well, and Jabari fell into a horrible depression while in college. He didn't eat or leave his room, and he began making beats for hours, thrusting himself headfirst into the production world. He first started releasing beat tapes under the alias "legalvariety", but eventually moved on to his more well known alias now: "JabariOntheBeat". He started uploading on YouTube as JabariOnTheBeat. He was put on academic failure from Middlebury, and sent to do a year at community college in New York. Jabari ended up dropping out after this and started focusing on producing heavily.
