About

Jungle Beats vs. Jahlil Beats Holla At Me refers to a common mishearing of rap producer Jahlil Beats' producer tag as "Jungle beats holla at me," when it actually says, "Jahlil Beats holla at me." The mishearing has been the subject of memes, most frequently image macros and shitposts, since the early-to-mid 2010s.

Origin

Hip-hop producer Jahlil Beats is known for using a producer tag in his tracks that says in a high-pitch voice, "Jahlil Beats holla at me," a tag which can be found in songs throughout his career (shown below).
