Ghais Guevara is an American rapper and producer from Philadelphia, also known as Jaja00 and Goyard Ibn Said. His work centres on political themes, in particular geopolitics seen from a Marxist perspective, and has been released on Fat Possum Records since 2024.
Background
He started in 2019 under the name Jaja00, and many of those early releases were later taken offline. The mixtape BlackBolshevik (2021) first drew attention to him as Ghais Guevara, and There Will Be No Super-Slave (July 2022), whose title comes from a book by George Jackson, brought wider critical notice. In 2023 he adopted the Goyard Ibn Said alias, and in September 2024 he signed to Fat Possum.
