Life and Career
How It All Started
Jala began his music journey in the early 2000s, making rap music in a small studio he set up at home. At first, he worked by himself. Later, he joined a hip-hop group called BluntBylon with other rappers. In 2011, he released his first collection of songs, an EP called Replay, which included his first song with Buba Corelli.
In 2012, Jala released his first solo album, Riječ na riječ. He also worked with Buba Corelli on an EP called SA Sin City, which they finished in 2013. Their teamwork continued, and they released a full album together in 2014 called Pakt s Đavolom. This album was a huge hit and made them famous rappers in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Becoming Superstars
After their album's success, Jala Brat and Buba Corelli started making music that more people could enjoy. In 2016, they released another album together, Stari Radio, which had popular songs like Skandal and Casino.
For a short time, Buba Corelli was away, and their work together paused. During this period, Jala released a song called Dom for his friend. He also represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.
When they reunited, they started their own record label, Imperia. Their first project under the new label was the album Kruna in 2016. It had eight songs, and many of them, like Klinka and Ne volim, became big hits. They even made high-quality 4K music videos for most of the songs.
In 2019, they released the album Alfa i Omega, which featured famous artists like RAF Camora and Senidah. They went on a big tour and performed for over 15,000 fans in Belgrade.

In 2024, they released a series of EPs called GOAT SEASON, which included some of their most popular songs to date, like Bez koda and Bass. Today, Jala Brat makes a unique style of music that mixes trap with folk sounds. His songs often talk about life, relationships, and having a good time.
